INEC: Elections won’t hold in Borno, Yobe, Adamawa unless...
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it will not deploy its staff for the conduct of elections in the troubled states of Borno, Yobe and Adamawa unless their (staff’s) security is guaranteed.
The chief press secretary to INEC Chairman Professor Attahiru Jega, Mr. Kayode Idowu, stated this last night while featuring on a Channels Television programme tagged “Politics Today” which was monitored by our correspondent.
Idowu noted that INEC had always expressed its readiness to conduct elections in all states of the federation, including the three states ravaged by the Boko Haram insurgency.
He, however, said the commission was optimistic that the security challenges in the three states would be appropriately handled by the security forces for elections to hold there.
He said: “The commission’s position has always been that the security of every staff to be deployed, either adhoc or permanent, has to be guaranteed by the security agencies and that is why the commission has always said that it will work in close collaboration with the security agencies to make sure that for it to deploy its staff to these areas, the security agencies will have to be on top of the game,” he said.
