The IGP said that the vehicular restriction order, among other things, is aimed at preventing political actors and trouble-makers from freely engaging in unpatriotic acts - circulation and use of illicit arms and hard drugs, movement of political thugs from contiguous states to Ondo State with the aim of disrupting the electoral processes, etc - which are inimical to the dictates of the electoral laws.

He assures that adequate security arrangement has been emplaced to secure the public space for the election.
