“The onus is on us to rigorously educate our faith communities on the adverse consequences of selling their PVCs and their votes. They must lend their voices to the cause of getting citizens to collect their PVC and vote peacefully and participate in all aspects of our civic life with a true patriotic spirit. “We must remind ourselves that we have a moral obligation to protect poor and vulnerable citizens, especially people at the grassroots and in our rural communities. Much more is expected of the people of faith.” All patriotic Nigerians are in support of INEC’s efforts to sanitize the nation’s electoral process and conduct credible elections that will reflect the will and mandate of the people. The destiny of the nation in the next four years will be determined by the competence, credibility and integrity of elected leaders.

It would be recalled that the Commission’s Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu on Monday said that if the insecurity in the country is “not dealt with decisively, it could ultimately culminate in the cancellation and/or postponement of elections in sufficient constituencies to hinder declaration of election results and precipitate constitutional crisis”. “In Nigeria, there is often the tendency to fly a kite. “We recall that in 2015, there was insecurity too to the extent that some local government areas, specifically in Borno State, were in the hands of Boko Haram terrorists. “This is why it is very important to clearly sound this note of warning without any ambiguity.

The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, gave the assurance in Abuja during the 17th edition of the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration’s Scorecard Series (2015-2023). “Security agencies must rise and prevent those who are working hard to stop the election from holding.

Nigeria is too dangerous to fail if there is instability in Nigeria, the whole West African sub-region will be in trouble, the whole world must ensure that Buhari is held to account,” he said. And it is high time security agencies explained to Nigerians how they would stop the incessant attacks on INEC facilities.
