General Abdulrahman Dambazau, a former Chief of Army Staff and Minister of Interior has stated that\u00a0the activities of terrorists and the members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra constitute a major threat to the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

According to Dambazau, insecurity would affect the election, stating that some communities would still be displaced, adding that the terrorist would continue to attack soft targets which would make officials of the Independent Electoral Commission harbor fears.<\/p>\n

This was stated by Dambazau while\u00a0delivering a paper titled, \u20182023 Politics: National Security and Nigeria\u2019s Stability\u2019, at the Blueprint Newspapers Annual Public Lecture in Abuja on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Dambazau said, \u201cWould insecurity affect the 2023 elections? Surely it would, because some of the community would still be displaced and the terrorists would likely continue attacks on soft targets, INEC<\/a> officials and ad-hoc staff would be highly apprehensive despite the assurance by the government to protect them. Access to polling units in border communities may pose some difficulties. This is a more reason adequate security must be provided.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we also prepare for the 2023 elections, we should also think of the possibility of an attack on the election processes by violent groups. The security<\/a> threats against the 2023 elections are not limited to the activities of terror groups in the North but also the proscribed IPOB in the South East.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe group had earlier threatened that there would be no election in the region in 2023 and insisted that all they want is to secede from Nigeria. They must not be allowed to carry out such a threat.<\/p>\n

He also emphasised the urgent need for reform in the security sector, stating that there is no unity among the various security agencies.<\/p>\n
