Chief Sani Ejima, the National Chairman of All Igala Forum in Nigeria, has advised traditional rulers to intensify efforts in tackling insecurity in Nigeria to ensure the success of 2015 elections.
Ejima made the call in an interview with NAN on Monday in Abuja.
He urged traditional rulers to take advantage of their closeness to the people to assist the Federal Government in bringing an end to insecurity in the country.
The chairman said efforts in restoring peace ahead of 2015 general elections would go a long way to ensure that all registered voters came out to vote for candidates of their choice.
Ejima, who commended the Federal Government for tackling security challenges in the country, called on other major stakeholders to contribute their quota in restoring peace.
“In view of the present security challenges in the country, traditional rulers ought to intensify efforts in restoring peace, particularly ahead of the 2015 general elections.
“If district heads, ward heads and village heads are alive to their responsibilities, they will be able to ensure discipline in their various communities and curtail any lawless act,” he said.
He further enjoined Nigerians to be law abiding and desist from any act capable of tarnishing the image of the Igala Kingdom.
