“In each of the polling unit, we hope to deploy at least two NSCDC officials to support security personnel from police and other security organisations. “All we are saying is that the people of Anambra should come out and vote and after voting return to their homes, leaving party agents to do the job of protecting votes for their parties. “Our main duty is to see that the citizens of Anambra participate in this Nov.18 election without fear and molestation. “We are not for any party nor for any individual, we are for every citizen taking part in the election,’’ he said.
