2023: Group Calls For Security Consciousness During Polls

A group, Women Peace and Security, on Monday called for security consciousness during the forthcoming polls.

The Chair Lady of the group in Gezawa local government, Fauziyya Shehu Muhammed Kano told All News Nigeria that women in particular must be very careful of what goes on around them during these polls.

She said it is no news that insecurity is still hampering peace in the North, adding that women mostly bear the devastating effects of it all.

Fauziyya Shehu Muhammed added that there are also undeniable tensions amongst the political parties, thus the need to be extra vigilant.

Women are the ones who mostly go out to vote, she said.

"Government alone can not guarantee our safety, we are calling on women to be very clear with what they see during the polls.

"If you see any sign of conflict, run back to your homes," the Chair Lady expressed. 

She urged women to also remind their spouses of the importance of staying safe while voting.

The Chair lady then called on government and security personnel to ensure Nigerians cast their votes safely.
