A former Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Chief Olu Falae, has lamented that the recent spate of insecurity across the country might make a credible general elections impossible.
In an interview in Akure on Monday, the statesman said, “I am praying that the terrorists will allow elections to take place in Nigeria,” .
He said the burning of INEC offices in Southeast is a major source of concern ahead of 2023.
The elder statesman said if elections would take place at all, they may not be credible and the outcome may not be acceptable to the general public.
Chief Falae said, “If during voting, shooting takes place and riots, the outcome will not be credible. I am hoping that we would be able to have an election next year.
“I am praying that if we would have elections, God Almighty will intervene and pick a president and government that can lead us out of the crisis that we are in. Nigeria is precariously on the edge of a precipice. I hope it would not be toppled with her bees below”, he added.
