“In a practical way, for many elections, we have been supporting INEC – your electoral body – to ensure it has got the necessary systems and processes in place. And in each election, we have seen INEC improve its processes. “We are supporting voter education, encouraging voters to understand the importance of going out to vote. So we are involved in a number of different ways.
“They absolutely do work. Obviously, I cannot talk about individual names, but I can assure you we have used it and the whole point of it is to deter people,” she added.“The political parties tell me that they think it does work. In fact, during the last election, both APC and the PDP told me they welcomed it.“Nigeria is the biggest democracy in Africa and your part of the world where democracy is backsliding.
