Ambassador Tukur Yusufu Buratai says nothing will stop the conduct of the 2023 elections starting next month.
The former Nigerian Chief of Army Staff said attacks and killings have reduced by 48% in Nigeria which also takes the country out of the list of nations with highest security challenges and terrorism.
He said nothing will stop the conduct of 2023 elections in Nigeria and called the bluff of those threatening to cause disharmony.
In his words “The issue of security in Nigeria, especially during the election period, I am quite aware that the security agencies will make sure elections hold nationwide and we have the assurances especially from the Police, DSS and the Army where the Chief of Army Staff, (COAS)Lt Gen Farouk Yahaya had earlier assured Nigerians of the Army’s readiness to provide security.
“For the terrorist activities of the IPOB in the South East, even though they used to strike but most of their threats are empty. They just want to instill fear in the State and the citizens.I am also sure the security forces will not allow them go unchecked during the forthcoming election.
“If you look at the security challenges in the North, the security agencies will also provide maximum security for the safety of the electorate to be able to come out and vote peacefully,” he said.
