Nigeria Decides: Anxiety as states elect governors, lawmakers

• Expect Better Security, IGP Re-assures Nigerians
• Hot Contests In Lagos, Kano, Kaduna, Rivers, Enugu, Others
• No Supplementary NASS Elections Today, Says INEC
• HURIWA, Others Condemn Violence Threats In Lagos

As 837 governorship candidates across 28 states and 10,240 flag bearers for the 993 State Assembly seats seek the votes of the electorate in today’s governorship and State Assembly elections, there are fears in many states over threats of violence.

However, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has re-assured the electorate that there would be a better and improved security arrangement for the elections.

This was as concerns over the readiness of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that the results of the exercise reflect the will of the electorate heightened yesterday.
