CHAIRMAN of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC),
Professor Attahiru Jega, on Monday, said unless there is a significant
improvement in the security situation in the North-East, next month’s
general election may not take place in the zone.
He stated this at a forum in Abuja, organised by the African Policy Research Institute.
“A place like Borno State, unless something is done about those that
have been displaced, to be realistic, we must say that it may be
impossible to hold elections everywhere, in every local government, in
every constituency in those three states in the North-East” he said.
Jega, however, pointed out that the commission was working hard to
limit the number of Nigerians that may be disenfranchised as a result of
the insurgency.
He announced that the commission had made adequate plans for
internally displaced persons to vote in designated areas in the
North-East. ...NigerianTribune
