Former INEC Chairman, Attahiru Jega disclosed that the proposed 2023 elections might not hold due to the high rate of Insecurity, terrorism, and banditry in Nigeria.
According to Jega, if the current issue of the insurgency is not tackled immediately, it might serve as a hindrance to a peaceful and fair election. He said;
“Unless elections are conducted in an environment that is peaceful and secure, its integrity and even the legitimacy of the outcome of that election will be questioned.
“As we look forward to the 2023 general elections, there is increasing apprehension that the pervasive insecurity situation in the country may present a formidable obstacle if not an obstruction to that election.
“If not appropriately and effectively mitigated, security challenges would pose the most serious danger to the integrity of the election process if it evens allows the election to be conducted.”
