A former Secretary-General of the Commonwealth, Chief Emeka Anyaoku, has urged the Federal Government and the relevant institutions to ensure that the forthcoming Edo and Ondo governorship elections were free and fair.
Edo governorship election is scheduled to hold on September 21, while that of Ondo is scheduled to hold on November 16.
Anyaoku said in Lagos, yesterday, that the expectations of the people, and indeed, the international community, were that the two governorship elections would be credible.
He urged the government, particularly INEC, the security agencies and other relevant institutions, to meet the expectations of the people.
Anyaoku said the rest of the world was carefully watching Nigeria and the conduct would determine how the country would be viewed and treated by the international community.
