The Chief of Defence Staff, General Lucky Irabor, has asked the military and other security agencies to do all they could to ensure a peaceful and safe environment for the elections.
Speaking at a military function in Abuja, Irabor said the hope of Nigerians are on security agents in the country for the successful conduct of the polls.
He said, “Today, our brave men and women of the armed forces and other security agencies can tell the world with pride of their daily successes in countering insurgency and other security challenges that have in recent times bedeviled the nation’s security landscape. I, however, urge you all to sustain the current momentum.
“Also, you all know the elections are coming, the nation and countries of the world are looking up to us as members of the armed forces and security agencies to play our role to ensure the elections are held in a peaceful environment. I urge us to live up to our constitutional responsibilities.”
