Chairman of INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu and the National Security Adviser, Babagana Moguno, made the appeal yesterday, during the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security.
Yakubu appealed to political parties, candidates and their supporters to see the election as a contest, not war.
Unlike the February 25 Presidential and National election that held nationwide, the Governorship elections will only hold in twenty eight States.
Those exempted are eight states, Anambra, Bayelsa, Edo, Ekiti, Imo, Kogi, Ondo and Osun, because polls are held off-cycle.
