General Kenneth Minimah Vows Crackdown On Election Violence by enzony(m): 10:23pm On Mar 25, 2015 |
The head of Nigeria’s army on Wednesday vowed a violent crackdown on election-related unrest, as security tightened before this weekend’s presidential and parliamentary vote. Lieutenant General Kenneth Minimah said the armed forces, police and other organisations had made “adequate arrangements” for security at this Saturday’s poll. Bloody election-related violence has been a major concern at previous votes in Nigeria, especially between supporters of rival political parties. In 2011, around 1,000 people were killed in clashes after Goodluck Jonathan’s victory over Muhammadu Buhari for the presidency. Minimah said heightened security would be in place both for the presidential and parliamentary vote on Saturday as well as on April 11, when gubernatorial and state assembly elections are held. “I do not envisage any issue because this is just an election and it will come and go,” he told a news conference. “Though we know there are also elements within the political class that would not want a normal election process to come and be put behind us. “I will appeal to politicians and their followers and supporters to keep the peace, maintain the peace and ensure a violence-free elections… and whoever wants to invoke or provoke violence will meet organised violence waiting for him.” http://www.vanguardngr.com/2015/03/army-chief-vows-crackdown-on-election-unrest/ |

Mark this "Though we know there are also elements within the political class that would not want a normal election process to come and be put behind us. “I will appeal to politicians and their followers and supporters to keep the peace, maintain the peace and ensure a violence-free elections… and whoever wants to invoke or provoke violence will meet organised violence waiting for him.” This election will come and go. GEJ will continue till 2019. Nigerians, abeg don't join those that go to the streets for any kind of unlawful action. After the 'celebration of democracy' coming up on 28 March and GEJ is returned elected everyone should think of what productive activity to engage so as to keep our economy going forward. 1 Like |
