the School of International Service at the American University; and the Centre for Peace, Democracy and Development at the University of Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzales said the United States government \u201cwill continue to use our messaging, as well as other diplomatic channels at our disposal, including visa restrictions, where warranted, to dissuade those who may be tempted to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/05\/17\/fg-to-facebook-stop-ipob-from-inciting-violence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">violence<\/a> to undermine Nigeria\u2019s democratic process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the US government remains committed to working with Nigeria to uphold its conventions toward ensuring a peaceful power transition in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The conference, moderated by Dr Ndubuisi Nwokolo, a Partner at Nextier and Honorary Research Fellow, School of Government and Society, University of Birmingham, United Kingdom, among other global scholars, therefore, stated that Nigeria should maintain existing political conventions that guaranteed peace.<\/p>\n<p>Other event moderators at the conference were Dr Carl LeVan, Professor, School of International Service, American University and Chair, Comparative and Regional Studies; and Dr. Darren Kew, Professor of Conflict Resolution, University of Massachusetts, Boston and Executive Director of Centre for Peace, Democracy and Development.<\/p>\n<p>Nextier\u2019s Founding Partner, Patrick Okigbo, clarified that the reason for hosting the conference in the United States was to elevate the election issues and conversations to the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated the need for Nigeria\u2019s international partners to assist in upholding her democratic process, even as he pointed out that \u201cdemocracy is not an end state but a project that requires continuous nurturing.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Okigbo said, \u201cInsecurity in Nigeria and recent occurrences in West Africa and Sahel regions should cause Nigeria\u2019s elite to use the 2023 elections to douse the tensions and set the country on a growth path.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>He further cautioned that failure to address the issues raised at the conference could have devastating consequences, whilst attention to the recommendations could yield a bountiful harvest.<\/p>\n<p>Other panellists highlighted the insecurity risks and the need to manage the 2023 elections properly, in addition to other points raised at the conference.<\/p>\n<p>Among these points were the issue of faltering political developments as they concerned elitism and Nigeria\u2019s progress, as it was observed that since 1999, the Nigerian elite had found a way to maintain a modicum of stability for elections and \u201ceventually share the dividends of the election outcomes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his contribution, Brigadier General Saleh Bala (retd.), observed that \u201csecurity challenges in Nigeria are true, present and tangible but what is consistent is the lurking shadow of elite interests and how they serve their interests.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On insecurity threats to Nigeria\u2019s democracy, the conference found that poor management of the elections, especially the rotational presidency convention, could threaten Nigeria\u2019s democracy against the backdrop of pervasive insecurity, the proliferation of small arms and light weapons, rise of self-help groups, and increased secessionist agitations in southern Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p>Director of the Centre for Democracy and Development, Ms. Idayat Hassan, noted that \u201cpolitical parties during the Anambra governorship election cycle could not campaign due to insecurity,\u201d and that worse scenarios could happen in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan asserted that \u201cthe zoning of the presidency to the south, particularly the South-East, will give the region a sense of belonging in Nigeria.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United States of America said it would impose visa restrictions on anyone who promotes violence as Nigeria holds its general election in 2023.
