 The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has ruled out the postponement of the 2023 General Elections, led by the various attacks on its facilities across the country. The INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmoud Yacoubou, who spoke at the Chatham House in London, decried the growing attacks on the commission's facilities by non-state agents. At the meeting, Yacoubou assured Nigerians that the commission, in collaboration with security agencies, had increased the security presence and areas prone to attacks by criminals. Fifty facilities of the commission were attacked in various parts of the country, mainly in the form of arson and vandalization. Buildings, election materials, and vehicles were destroyed, and sometimes these attacks even targeted staff of the commission. During the continuous voter registration, some staff of the commission in emo state were attacked, resulting in injuries and death. The implication of the attacks is that we have to rebuild facilities and replace materials. And the commission and the security agencies have increased their presence in some of these locations. The last attack actually happened on Sunday, on Sunday last week, but because of the cooperation between the military and the Electoral Commission, we were able to respond and the damage was limited to just a section of the building in a local government office. The commissioners repeatedly called for concerted efforts to control and check these attacks. And in December last year, the National Assembly held a public hearing on these attacks, and we hope that authorities have these attacks under control and the response by the security agencies is more coordinated. But in spite of these attacks, we'll rebuild facilities, we'll replace damage or lost items, the election will continue.
