Speaking on the attacks, Shettima called on all Nigerians to condemn the act of vandalism of government property.He added that “nobody in this country can force himself in power through threats, intimidation, and blackmail”.
“The incessant attacks on INEC offices and facilities is an act of terrorism, every meaningful Nigerian must condemn it in total,” he said. “Also, locking downtowns and cities in the Southeast is also a pathway to anarchy and insanity. It should be condemned, likewise, the activities of the proscribed indigenous people of biafra are not in tandem with modern democratic practice.
“Nobody in this country can force himself into power through threats, intimidation, and blackmail. Politics and democracy is a game of numbers, your ability to reach out and build bridges and win the hearts and minds of people is much more important than issuing threats and intimidation.” Shettima urged Nigerians to embrace the path of peace to propel socioeconomic development and political stability.
