Emir of Mubi, Alhaji Abubakar Isa, has appealed to the electorate to ensure the safety of their voters’ cards to guide against possible mutilation.

The Emir made the call at a voter enlightenment and advocacy campaign in Gude District of Mubi-South Local Government Area Wednesday.

Isa advised voters to handle their cards with utmost care and protection.

He said: “Safeguard your voter’s card the same way you keep your money and other valuables. The card is your right to vote, therefore you must ensure its safety.”

He cautioned the people against multiple registration, adding that such unpatriotic acts would invalidate their registered cards and make them to loose their voting rights.

“When you register more than once, you deny yourself the right to vote,” he said.

The Emir called on the communities to exercise patience over the  delays associated with the registration process and cooperate with the registration officials for a hitch_free exercise.

The Emir had carried the campaign to 24 districts in the emirate to mobilise people for the exercise.

The campaign was attended by members of the Adamawa House of Assembly, local government chairmen and representatives of farmers and women associations.

More people are now being registered in the area because of an improvement in the registration process.
