“The TMG calls the attention of citizens to disregard all forms of gratification from any candidate before voting for him. The rally also encouraged people that their votes count therefore they should not joke or compromise their right or future of their children for anything no matter the material gain.

“We also charge all those in attendance at the rally to take the messages back to their respective communities and let the populace know about the issues”. He said.
