The Federal Government has insisted that no threat from any quarter can stop the conduct of the 2023 general election, which is just over a month away.
The Minister of Information Lai Mohammed made the Government’s position clear while responding to a claim by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that the elections might not be held in some states due to security threats by non-state actors.
While addressing a news conference in Abuja on Tuesday, the Information minister made clear that ’’no amount of threat could stop the election as planned.’’
“The position of the Federal Government remains that the 2023 elections will be held as planned. Nothing has happened to change that position.
“We are aware that INEC is working with the security agencies to ensure that the elections are successfully held across the country.
“The security agencies have also continued to assure Nigerians that they are working tirelessly to ensure that the elections are held in a peaceful atmosphere. Therefore, there is no cause for alarm,” Mohammed stated.
