 From there, the National Security Advisor, Nure Ribadu, says President Bolatinov is committed to credible elections assuring the independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of no interference in the off-secure, biosecure, kugi, and emerald-governorship elections. Now, Ribadu gave the assurance on Friday when he met with the INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, along with the commission's national commissioners and other members of the Interagency Consultative Committee on Election Security. The gathering held at the NSA office in Abuja is part of the consultative meetings by the commission hired off the November 11, 2023 offices in SSI. INEC had previously raised security concerns ahead of the polls in one of its meetings with political parties. The second responsibility for election security lies with the security agencies. Our message to the security agencies is to take decisive action against perpetrators of electoral violence. This is the surest way to guarantee a safe environment for the peaceful conduct of elections and electoral activities. We want to give assurance to Nigerians that this election will be even better than whatever we have had in the past. This election is going to be free and fair. This election will be without interference. This election is going to be without violence.
