The Accord Party’s presidential candidate, Prof. Christopher Imumolen, has urged the Federal Government to recruit ad hoc security personnel to avert security breakdown during the 2023 elections.
In a statement by his media office on Friday, said the apex government can effectively manage possible security challenges that might crop up in the forthcoming general elections by recruiting ad hoc security personnel to augment the existing manpower. With more hands, he said, cases of thuggery, ballot box snatchings, and assassinations of opponents in several flashpoints across the country won’t mar the smooth conduct of elections.
According to him, massive recruitment of ad-hoc security personnel to cover for the shortfall in the available number of policemen and other operatives was the key to ensuring sufficient room is not left for evil-minded persons to disrupt the elections in any way. “From available statistics which peg the number of security men at 350,000 all over the country, it is not possible to have adequate security cover for the 176,000 polling units on election day.
