I call upon Deltans to resist Politicians beckon to be lured into any form of electoral violence during this period of our Council Polls, as doing so will amount to gross violation the state's electoral laws, the Commission's Chairman warns.

Addressing Youth Leaders, Mr. Ogbe charged them to be worthy agents of change, a change that demonstrates quality departure from past actions and roles Young Deltans were previously identified with.

Young Deltans should refuse and resist Politicians vain ploy to use them as agents of Democratic and Political Maddness.

I encourage you youngsters to shun Politicians attempts to use you as thugs, rather encourage them to recruit and involve their children and close relatives, Mr Ogbe advised Young Deltans.

Delta State Independent Electoral Commission remains committed to the foundation legislative guidelines that established this Commission.

We are more than before now ready to conduct the most credible Council elections, the people, especially, those at the grassroot will be proud of, the Commission's Chairman Observed.
