The Independent National Electoral Commission has expressed doubts over the conduct of elections in some parts of Anambra State in the 2023 general polls as a result of the activities of gunmen in the state.
While addressing the stakeholders, the REC said it was high time the youths in Anambra State took possession of their land and rid it of criminal elements.
She said, “This is the time for the youths to rise up in different communities to protect their people. We have prepared for the elections with materials and men. What we need from communities is to collect their Permanent Voters Cards and security. None sensible materials have been distributed already.
“I am relying on the president general in all the communities and traditional rulers to secure their areas during the elections. Let us avoid suppressing ourselves.
