 With the possibility of election rigging, vote buying and ballot theft would have dominated Nigerian election history as well as questionable security system. And now with just a few weeks to the general elections, citizens must be given guarantees regarding their safety in order for them to be free to carry out their civic responsibility. In this report, plus TV news correspondent Emmanuel Olubobokoux raised the potential of security threats to the elections. Over the years, elections related in security commotion, bribery and chaos have become the numb. Examples include ballot snarging, thugs disrupting the voting process and general corruption between party members. But as the general elections approach, there is great concern about the possibility of chaos, desperation and mischief during elections. Professor Mahmoud Yacoubou, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has called for a new approach in election security that would translate to protecting the voter, INEC staffs, as well as our security synergy to check thuggery during the elections. However, say that the prevailing security challenges may lead to the cancellation or postponement of the general elections being to start in February. The Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammed, debunked the statement, saying that the election will be held as planned. Some stakeholders expressed concern in response to the statement, calling it unacceptable and arguing that government officials should instead foster Nigerians' optimism. INEC at this stage should not tell us unless we may likely be castle because of security. Although there have been security threats in previous elections in Nigeria, public affairs analyst Shagrun Shoprita believes that the 23 polls will be different. The security with regards to electoral activities itself, so when you talk about electoral violence, for example, you know, and because of the trend that we have seen since 1999 till 2019 and the introduction of the initiatives that INEC has now put in place, electoral violence will significantly be lower or will be significantly lower. Electorates also gave their word as under state of security in election days, saying that the government should put in place measures to ensure a violent free day. We have witnessed the worst in this country during the time in 2015 when almost every area in Abuja was actually being bombed whatsoever with the Bukwara. Still, the elections still go ahead, so I believe irrespective of what Nigerians, what we are facing presently, I believe the election is going to be successful. This is an individual thing, so it depends on how we see it. If you feel you want to, because whether you like it or not, we still have to go out and vote. We still have to do what we have to do because you can't keep doing one thing and expect a change. Ringing could be a thing of the past with the introduction of many technological appliances said to be used during the elections such as the by mode of voter accreditation system beavers and order electronic equipment. In ensuring the safety of citizens and their properties throughout the election process, security agencies, however, have a significant role to play in managing the Bukwara.
