Abdulrahman Dambazau, former chief of army staff, says some of the challenges around security in the country are creations of politicians.
The conference, themed ‘2023 Elections: Citizens Pre-Election Awareness and the Role of Stakeholders in Post-Election Stability’, was held at the Yaradua conference centre in Abuja.
“Some years back, our focus was on the north-east. Now, the focus is on the south-east and some parts of the south-east where you have banditry, kidnappings going on — but in particular, the south-east whereby the proscribed group IPOB has sworn that elections would not take place in that region. Speaking with TheCable at the conference, Hafsatu Shinkafi, founder of the CSO, commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for improving the electoral process over the years.
“I would like to commend INEC on the improvements that have been made especially on the technological front of things,” Shinkafi said.
