A pro-Nigerian advocacy group, GoNigeria Initiative, has warned that growing violence across Nigeria, since commencement of electioneering, is capable of derailing next year’s polls.

Convener of the group, Atedo Peterside, made this known in a statement, at the weekend, while condemning the escalating violence and divisive rhetoric related to campaigns for the 2023 general elections.

Atedo called for implementation of Section 128 of the 2022 Electoral Act, which protects the rights of candidates to campaign without threat of violence, noting that campaigns should be on progressive ideas that are objective, balanced and promote national unity. “We call on politicians and all stakeholders to eschew hate speech and violence, and we echo the call of the Independent National Electoral Commission that political parties and political leaders conduct their campaigns peacefully without rancour, divisiveness and violence.
