The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has raised concerns about the security challenges in the country ahead of the 2023 general elections.
With about nine months to the polls, INEC, however, allayed fears that the elections might not hold due to security threats.
INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, made the remarks on Friday in Abuja at the second quarterly meeting of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES).
Yakubu noted that there is enough time for the security agencies to address the situation to ensure people go to their various polling units without concerns over their safety.
Although the INEC chief admitted that the present situation was enough to be worried about, he was confident that the threats would be brought under control to allow for elections.
