, has directed all police personnel in the country to be neutral in all processes for the 2023 general elections.

“We are also expected to adopt a professional orientation that emphasises democratic values and respect for human rights and dignity,” he added. “It will also be measured by our decisions and actions as we interface with political parties in emplacing appropriate pieces of machinery to guarantee a peaceful electioneering campaign process.

“All quasi-security outfits that were established by the various state governments and local communities, operating under different nomenclatures, structures and orientations have no legal roles in the Electoral Act 2020. Mr Baba ordered CPs across the 36 states and FCT to liaise with Resident Electoral Commissioners and political party leaderships in their various states to come up with campaign timetables.“Political Parties’ campaign timetable for each State should be forwarded to the Deputy Inspector-General of Police in charge of Operations for collation.
