A coalition of civil society organisations under the aegis of West African Democracy Solidarity Network has raised fears that the fuel scarcity in Nigeria might lead to low voter turnout during next month's general elections.
Kindly share this story:
The organisation which includes Center for Democratic Development and YIAGA Africa, warned that the failure to provide the clarification ahead of the election could result in disputes and possible violence in the event of a run-off. He said large-scale malfunctioning of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System on election day could cause anxiety and panic among voters.
“Another issue of concern is around the deployment of materials and logistics ahead of the election. This fear is exacerbated by the current long-running incidence of fuel scarcity in the country. We strongly note the postponement of previous elections in Nigeria, partly due to logistical concerns.
