The Independent National Electoral Commission has expressed hope that its cash request presented to the Central Bank of Nigeria would be met on or before Tuesday.
“The question of maintaining law and order is outside the remit of the Independent National Electoral Commission. Section 215 of the Constitution gives the Nigerian Police Force the responsibility of maintaining and securing of public safety and public order.
“The commission does not have its own security arm and cannot deploy security operatives to the streets. “The commission has done its best to boost voters’ confidence in the electoral process. The commission converted voting points and voting point settlements into full-fledged polling units and took some closer to the voters.
“The commission keeps improving with every election. Nigerians are looking forward to the 2023 elections and they are ready to exercise their franchise. “We are hopeful that the difficulties the nation is experiencing will not deter legally registered voters from showing up on election day. We want Nigerians to complement the preparations and efforts made by the commission by coming out to vote on election day.”All rights reserved.
