The Supreme Council for Shari’ah in Nigeria (SCSN) has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to hold the general elections the same day due to rising insecurity in the country.
Many Nigerians have expressed fear about the conduct of the elections over the threats posed by Boko Haram, bandits and other non-state agents.
But the Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmoud Yakubu, had allayed fears on the elections, saying the dates announced by the commission are sacrosanct.
