He accused some Non-governmental Organizations of dabbling into politics in the name of providing humanitarian assistance to the people.

Fintiri added that his administration would not fold its arms and watch such NGOs mislead the people and inject divisive tendencies into their psyche.

Speaking further, he added that given the foregoing and in furtherance of the desire to reorder the electoral behaviour of the people and to remove the influence of the NGOs who have reduced the statutory mandate to that of vote buying, Government has decided to suspend the activities of local and international Non-Governmental organizations throughout the State until 15th of March, 2023, when the elections are done.
