The Police Service Commission has stressed the need for security agencies to work in synergy during the elections. This, it said, was critical if elections must be held in a safe atmosphere.
It also urged policemen and other security agencies to be patriotic and ensure that voters, election materials and the atmosphere for elections were secured and safe for the exercise.
The spokesperson for the PSC, Ikechukwu Ani said these in a statement on Friday.
He stated, “The PSC believes that the success of the 2023 general elections depends largely on the commitment of the police and other security agencies on election duty. The commission calls for inter-agency collaboration and synergy so that there will be visible unity in the conduct of the security agencies.
“The commission notes that Nigerians look forward to the security agencies for the motivation to step out and exercise their franchise.
“Meanwhile, the commission’s monitors have arrived at their duty posts across the nation and have been part of all the pre-election activities in the states. They will also participate in both the security control room activities and the civil society situation rooms.”
