AS part of the efforts to prevent post-election violence in Plateau State, the state government has called on political parties to caution their supporters and well-wishers to exercise restraint in celebrating the outcome of the Presidential and National Assembly Elections.
The State Government in a statement signed by the State Commission of Information and Communication, Hon. Yakubu Dati said the caution became necessary because elections in Nigeria are very emotional issues that could be wildly celebrated.
