Acting Inspector General of Police, Abubakar Mohammed Adamu on Thursday assessed the conduct of the 2019 general election, and concluded
that though the election was conducted in a largely credible and peaceful atmosphere, it was discovered that political parties and politicians armed their followers to undermine the electoral process.
He asked political parties to address the involvement of their followers in activities that tends to undermine the electoral process with their active backing. “From our perspective, the political parties must address certain issues. During the 2019 general election, a lot of things happened.
“These are indications that the culture of political intolerance is still with us and if not mitigated, it could constitute a major threat to the sanctity of future electoral process as well as internal security. Juma said however that despite evidence of democratic consolidation in Nigeria’s Fourth Republic following five successive elections, and peaceful transfer of power from one civilian regime to another, there are concerns that democratic progress is occurring amidst fragility of the institutions of democracy, especially the political parties and the party system.
