The Independent National Electoral Commission has expressed concern over some politicians and registered political parties, which have commenced campaigns ahead of the 2015 general elections, describing such acts as threat to democracy.
The commission urged security agencies to arrest the violators of the Electoral Act “whose activities in this regard pose a threat to public order.”
“This trend is unhealthy and portends ill for the political process. Indeed, it is a threat to Nigeria’s democracy,” the Chief Press Secretary to the INEC chairman, Mr. Kayode Idowu, said in a statement on Sunday in Abuja.
