Mixed reactions have followed the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) statement on Monday that this year’s general elections face cancellation or postponement if the waves of insecurity in parts of the country are not addressed.

According to a source at the meeting, the president assured the clerics that the elections would be held as planned by INEC.

“The president said the dates for the general elections fixed by the electoral body are sacrosanct and urged that all should support INEC and work towards peaceful, credible and fair elections,” the source said pleading not to be named.
