As Nigeria gears up for the 2023 general elections, the security situation remains precarious, and election-related violence has been on the rise, with the potential of escalating further during and after the polls.
The success and peaceful conduct of the 2023 elections are crucial for Nigeria’s unity and reputation as a democratic leader in Africa.
