As the people of Ngowahun Chiefdom goes into the pool today, AWE-MEDIA.SL interviewed both the Provincial Secretary of the North East Region Simenon Fatoma and the Senior District Officer Abubakarr Kamara about their expectations from the anticipated elections.
They replied, “We’re confident that there will be total peace in today’s election based on the peaceful conduct of the people of Ngowahun in the last three weeks during the deceleration process, yet we are calling on them to maintain similar spirit on the pooling day.”
