The country’s electoral umpire until this moment maintains that it is capable and ready to conduct free, fair and credible elections.

Over 50 offices of INEC had been attacked in 15 states in four years, with at least 11 of them happening in Imo State alone, seven in Osun, five in each of Akwa Ibom, Enugu and Ebonyi, four in Abia and Cross River, two in Anambra, Taraba, Borno, and one in Ogun, Lagos, Bayelsa, Ondo and Kaduna.In the last 10 days, no less than eight police officers were gunned down in escalated attacks on police divisions in Anambra State.

Similarly, National Security Adviser, Babagana Monguno at the meeting, represented by Sanusi Galadima, also gave a firm assurance of full security for everyone participating in the election. CBN Governor Godwin Emefiele at the meeting assured that the apex bank will provide the support needed for INEC to pay for its logistics and deliver a successful election.

He added: “Regarding the cash crunch and transportation, anybody that knows how government processes work, all the vehicles that would pick those materials. I’m sure the contracts would have been done before now and the government doesn’t pay you in advance. The government pays you after you’ve done the job and if they’re going to give you money, they’re going to pay you electronically.”
