She also charged them to shun electoral malpractice and violence, as well as vote buying.
Another Programme Associate, Alabi Esther spoke to the audience on the need to allow their wives and children to participate in the electoral process.
She also stressed the need to encourage People Living with Disabilities (PLWDs) to participate in the process adding that disability does not stop them from participating in the election.
