The state chairman of the council, Bala Mohammed, made the call while briefing journalists in Damaturu, the state capital.

“As you are aware, the rainy season came in very late. Now that the rain has intensified, our people are heavily engaged in farming activities. Now is the peak of farming activities in the state, which is unsuitable for any political activity,” Mohammed said.
