Insecurity, thuggery, social media - INEC lists threats to 2023 presidential election
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has listed insecurity, thuggery and social media fake news as major threats to next year’s general elections.

The Commission’s Chairman, Mahmoud Yakubu, made the disclosure at an event organized by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED) and the International Foundation for Electoral Systems (IFES) at the NED Headquarters, Washington DC, USA.




On the concerns ahead of the poll, he said;




“ARE THERE CONCERNS ABOUT THE 2023 GENERAL ELECTION? I WILL BE THE LAST TO SAY THERE ARE NO CONCERNS. THE FIRST CONCERN IS THE PERENNIAL ISSUE OF INSECURITY IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, COMPOUNDED BY THE TRADITIONAL ISSUES OF THUGGERY DURING ELECTIONS ORGANIZED BY SOME OF THE POLITICAL ACTORS.

“I SAY IT IS A PERENNIAL ISSUE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT IS NOTHING NEW. HOWEVER, THE DIMENSION OF THE INSECURITY IS A CONCERN IN THE SENSE THAT IN THE PAST, IT WAS LOCALIZED OR CONFINED TO A PARTICULAR PART OF THE COUNTRY, THE NORTHEAST. BUT NOW IT IS MORE WIDESPREAD AND WE ARE KEEPING OUR EYES PARTICULARLY ON THE NORTHWEST AND THE SOUTHEASTERN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY.




“ELECTIONS ARE CONDUCTED BY HUMAN BEINGS. WE WORRY ABOUT THE SECURITY OF OUR OFFICIALS, VOTERS AND THE MATERIALS TO BE DEPLOYED. WITHOUT THEM, WE CANNOT CONDUCT ELECTIONS. WE HAVE SPOKEN TO THE SECURITY AGENCIES, THEY HAVE ASSURED US THAT THE SITUATION WILL IMPROVE BEFORE THE ELECTIONS. SO, FINGERS CROSSED. THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSED TO SECURE THE ENVIRONMENT HAVE ASSURED US THAT THEY WILL SECURE THE ENVIRONMENT FOR US TO CONDUCT ELECTIONS. OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO CONDUCT ELECTIONS.




“THE SOCIAL MEDIA HAS BEEN A FORCE FOR GOOD. THE COMMISSION DOES NOT SUPPORT CENSORSHIP. WE BELIEVE THAT THE ANTIDOTE TO FAKE NEWS IS GREATER TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS AND WE HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATING GREATER TRANSPARENCY AND OPENNESS.




“THE SOCIAL MEDIA PLAYS A VERY IMPORTANT ROLE IN VOTER EDUCATION AND DEEPENING DEMOCRACY BUT IT ALSO HAS THE POTENTIAL OF SKEWING THE NARRATIVE WITH THE WRONG INFORMATION THAT  IMPUGN THE INTEGRITY OF OFFICIALS OR SEEK TO DELEGITIMIZE THE COMMISSION AND THE PROCESS EITHER BEFORE, DURING OR AFTER THE ELECTIONS. PUBLICATION OF FAKE ELECTION RESULTS IS A POTENTIAL TRIGGER FOR VIOLENCE. WHAT WE HAVE DONE IS TO CONTINUE TO DEEPEN OUR COOPERATION AND RELATIONSHIP PARTICULARLY WITH THE ORGANIZED SOCIAL MEDIA,” HE SAID.

Vote rigging is no more a serious threat according to inec

God will not allow afflictions to rise again. Vote Peter Obi for better Nigeria

Please vote for Peter Obi if you want people to stop stealing Nigeria oil.

Am not against anybody voting for tinubu, am only against the greed nature of the man. if you want to still vote him, ensure you are eating directly from him. Just like Keyamo who once sued him but now singing his praises.

However, if you want to vote tinubu based on tribe or religion take note of this point.

1. Are you voting a man who introduced thuggery in today's Nigeria politics that held down the state till date thug cause havoc everywhere.

2. Are you voting a man who introduced vote buying in today's Nigeria politics, that even inec have been crying over it and it's difficult to stop.

3. Are you voting a man who introduced life Pension for ex govs, there by making other state to emulate he's greedy nature.

4. Are you voting a man who through his greedy nature made his wife a senator, daughter head of all markets and son The direction of signage. What a greed of just one man.

5. are you voting a man who brought the calamity that we are all suffering just because of his selfish agenda. He doesn't care who dies or not, so far he will achieve his aim. That they are even ashamed to campaign with APC they brought, rather saying he built Lagos, without a single bridge to his name.

6. Are you voting a man who since our 1999 he's the only person that have ruled as a gov, that have ensure he select he becomes who in the state. Even obj, Jonathan don't have such greed even as ex president.

Vote wisely, because this man greedy nature will forever hold Nigeria into captive.
