00:09:50protection, it is
00:09:54vote protection,

00:10:25displayed in restricted areas while posters bearing the images of
00:10:28governor and president remain visible in the
00:10:32same areas. the ADC is demanding the review the sanction and equal
00:10:36application of executive order 003 to all
00:10:40political parties. it also says the state should give greater priority to
00:10:44addressing insecurity across plateau.
00:10:47democratic congress plat to state chapter strongly
00:10:51condems any attempt to use government institution.
00:10:55to intimidate opposition parties or undermine
00:10:59democratic competition in our state, we are
00:11:03particularly concerned about the
00:11:05reported, the reported fine issued
00:11:09against our party and our candidates by the just
00:11:12metropolitan development board,
00:11:15jmdb, our

00:11:29clear, the ADC will not be intimidated,
00:11:33silenced or battered by political
00:11:36pressure, administrative sanctions or the
00:11:40misuse of public institutions, we are a law
00:11:43abiding party that respects legitimate
00:11:47regulations. however, respect for the
00:11:51law must never be take mistaken for weakness and
00:11:55and our commitment to peace must never be
00:11:58interpreted as surrounding our democratic
00:12:01rights. meanwile the

00:12:27breach in the directive will be sealed within seven days,
00:12:31regardless of political affiliation.

00:12:37and is demand for review the disputed
