The federal government says it will do everything possible
to ensure that the 2023 elections hold despite the current security challenges.
Lai Mohammed, minister of information and culture, said this
on Wednesday while addressing journalists after the meeting of the federal
executive council (FEC).
According to him, despite concerns over the current security
challenges, the federal government remains committed to improving the welfare
of Nigerians through security and better quality of living.
“Everybody who has an opinion is free to air such opinion
and the government will weigh the opinions and take whatever decisions it
believes is in the overall interest of the nation,” he said.
“Yes, it is true that
some groups have been worried and concerned on whether given the state of
insecurity in the country, there can’t be elections next year.
“I can assure you there will be elections because the
Nigerian government will do everything possible not just to make sure there is
election but to secure the country.
“I’m sure you heard yesterday from the president that the
military commanders have been given everything they need and they have been
given all the powers they need to bring this insurgency and banditry to an end.
“As to whether the service chiefs should resign, I think only their appointor can decide on that, but the service chiefs have been doing their best and they will continue to do so.”
