The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has called on security agencies to maintain surveillance over the electioneering process in Edo and Ondo States, to prevent violent attacks by political parties, candidates, and their supporters during campaigns.

He made the call during a meeting of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security, on Thursday in Abuja. Yakubu stressed the need for security agencies to protect registrants, registration personnel, equipment, observers, and journalists covering the Continuous Voters’ Registration ahead of the upcoming Edo and Ondo governorship elections. The CVR in both states will run simultaneously from Monday, May 27, to Wednesday, June 5, from 9 am to 3 pm daily, including weekends.

“We need security protection for the registrants, registration personnel, equipment, observers, and journalists that will cover the CVR exercise. “I urge you to keep your eyes on the electioneering process to prevent violent attacks or negative mobilisation by political parties, candidates, and their supporters during their campaigns.
