ABUJA — AS Nigeria is set for the general elections starting with the presidential on March 28, a United States Congressman, Mr Stephen Lynch has advised the people to come out in their numbers to vote for the candidates of their choice.

“I was elected on September 11, 2001; the day we were attacked by Alqaeda and we went forward with our election. Even though that was election day, even though we were attacked, I think it showed a commitment to democracy and you never want to have a democratic election cancelled because of what a few extremists might do.”

Lynch, who spoke when he visited the Senate Leader,  Victor Ndoma-Egba, SAN, yesterday, also told Nigerians not to lose hope as a result of the insurgency in some states of the North East.
