Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Accord Party (AP) presidential candidate, Professor Christopher Imumolen has suggested ways the Federal Government can effectively manage security challenges during the 2023 elections.<\/p>\n

Polls in some parts of the country are often marred due to cases of intimidation, violence, thuggery, ballot box snatching, attacks, assassinations, among others.<\/p>\n

Imumolen called for massive recruitment of ad hoc security personnel to cover for the shortfall in the available number of policemen and other operatives.<\/p>\n

The APC flagbearer noted that this would ensure sufficient room is not left for unscrupulous elements to scuttle the elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom available statistics which peg the number of policemen at 370,000, it is not possible to have adequate security cover for the 176,000 polling units on election days,\u201d Imumolen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shortage is what evil-minded persons can use to disrupt the elections. and cause mayhem like they have always done in the past.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnmanned polling booths are a sure recipe for danger. Polling officials are not safe, voters are not safe. In fact, just about anything can happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is why I suggest that ad hoc security personnel be recruited and trained right away to help cover for the deficit we currently have.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ask Nigerians who are patriotic and interested in seeing to the success of the elections to come forward and volunteer their services,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Imumolen however hailed INEC\u2019s decision to deploy technology to enhance the process of voting, collation, and announcements of results.<\/p>\n

\u201cINEC\u2019s decision to embrace digital technology in place of the old analogue system is a good development because it will be more efficient,\u201d the AP candidate said.<\/p>\n
