\u00a0Jos \u2013 Gov. Jonah Jang of Plateau has banned the sale of beer or any form of liquor during the National Assembly elections on Saturday.<\/p>\n

According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, Jang, in a broadcast, Friday, warned that no beer parlour should operate during the accreditation and voting periods.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe shall ensure strict compliance; no one should \u2026,\u2019\u2019 the Governor declared.<\/p>\n

He said that the measure was part of efforts to ensure a peaceful conduct of the\u00a0 polls.<\/p>\n

Jang also declared each Friday preceding each election day a work-free day to enable workers \u201cprepare\u201d for the elections.<\/p>\n

The Governor advised those with no business at the voting and collation centres to steer clear of the venues and tasked the electorates to be \u201cvigilant\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jang said that security agencies had been mandated to \u201cfully enforce\u201d the ban on the movement of people during the period of the elections and urged the public to adhere strictly to the directives.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is the responsibility of every Nigerian to give the elections all the seriousness it deserve and ensure that the exercise succeeds,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He reiterated the determination of President Goodluck Jonathan to ensure credible, free and fair polls and that Plateau\u00a0 State would do everything possible to complement the President\u2019s effort.<\/p>\n

Jang challenged politicians to play according to the rules of the game, pointing out that the State was above any individual\u2019s ambition.<\/p>\n

According to him, government will stop at nothing to ensure the success of the general elections as \u201cit is the only way through which we can ensure the continuity of our democracy\u201d.<\/p>\n
