The Municipal Chief Executive of the Sagnarigu Municipality, Hon. Hajia Mariam Idrisu, has urged the general public to adhere to the safety protocols at the registration centres.

Speaking to the press yesterday, after a tour around the registration centres in the Sagnarigu constituency, Hajia Mariam advised that people should not wait to see security personnel before they turn to observe the safety protocols.

“You should be responsible for your own health," She said.

She recounted her experience in one of the registration centres she visited, where a police officer in charge of a registration centre takes a leave of the centre to get something, only for the people to flout the safety protocols just to get the registration easily.

She noted that most people in the Sagnarigu Municipality seem to be reluctant and hesitant in adhering to the safety measures, especially at the registration centres.

“You should not come out to register for an ID card in order to vote for somebody and by so doing you contract Coronavirus to infect your whole family," she advised.

Hajia Mariam further urges that people should be self-conscious about their own health and ensure that they do the right thing to stay safe and alive.

“Let us not wait to see the MCE or the police before we observe the protocols. Let us do the right thing in other to stay safe and live long and vote for Nana Addo to do more for us."

She also encouraged the general public to take advantage of the proximity of the registration centres at their places of abode to register and as well exercise their franchise come December 2020 general election.

“Without your registration card, you can not exercise your franchise, you can not give Nana Addo four more years to do more," She said.
