Former military President Ibrahim Babangida says he is
optimistic that Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will conduct
elections as rescheduled.
He spoke in Minna when he received the members of Arewa
Citizens Action for Change on Saturday.
He said people should not look at insecurity as only a
problem restricted to a particular zone of the country but as a problem
confronting the entire country.
“I think people should not see the insecurity as restricted
to North East alone; it is the problem of the entire country.
“Nigeria is under insurgency not only north east. Nigerians
should see it from that perspective and for that; they should support the
Military to end the insurgency,’’ he said.
On whether the shifting of election date will affect the
outcome of the election, he observed that the election would be conducted
peacefully considering the arrangement on ground.
He also urged INEC to improve in the provision of
information in respect of Permanent Voter Cards’, especially on where to
collect them.
Babangida commended the members of the group for propagating
the gospel of peace, particularly at this period where electioneering was at
its peak.
