The National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, has assured Nigerians that Bayelsa, Imo, and Kogi off-cycle governorship elections would be conducted without any form of interference.
Ribadu stated this at the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security meeting on Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi governorship elections held on Friday at the Office of the National Security Adviser in Abuja.
“It is going to be litmus test for us. Three important states, one in the North-Central, one in the South-East, one in the South-South and we are ready. “ He said that we should take this message to INEC and to Nigerians that he is going to be very much available to support you to make sure Nigeria have free and fair elections.
He said that Bayelsa, Imo and Kogi were not the easiest States in Nigeria to conduct elections because of their difficult geographical terrain and prevailing insecurity. “In doing so, security personnel on electoral duty should remain neutral and committed to the established professional code of conduct and rules of engagement,’’Yakubu said.
