The Independent National Electoral Commission has said it is satisfied with the preparations done so far ahead of the 2023 elections.
“We have worked closely with stakeholders and development partners to confront these challenges and we are satisfied with our preparations so far.”
Lamenting the continuous attacks on its facilities nationwide, the INEC Chairman said despite the attacks, elections would hold. He said, “In four years, 50 facilities attacked in various parts of the country. The implication of the attacks is that we have to rebuild facilities and replace materials. The commission and security agencies have increased their presence in some of these locations.
“The commission has repeatedly called for concerted efforts to control and check these attacks and in December last year, the National Assembly held a public hearing on these attacks and we hope that authorities have these attacks under control and the response by the security agencies is more coordinated.
“But inspite of these attacks, we will rebuild facilities and replace damaged and lost items, the elections will hold.”All rights reserved.
