The Executive Director of Yiaga Africa, Samson Itodo, has raised concerns over insecurity in Anambra State as preparations intensify for the November 8 governorship election in the state.
Itodo raised this alarm on Thursday while speaking in an interview on ‘Politics Today’, a programme on Channels Television monitored by DAILY POST.
He stated that insecurity remained a major challenge, especially in riverine and high-risk areas.
“The second biggest issue [ahead of the election] relates to insecurity in some hot spots and riverine areas.
“If security agencies don’t provide protection for INEC officials and materials, deployment will be difficult,” he said.
He called on security personnel to partner with the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to ensure safe and smooth conduct of the exercise.
“We hope the security agencies cooperate with INEC and provide the necessary security. So far, everything seems peaceful, and the state is primed for voting,” he added.
