Citizens Advocacy for Social and Economic Rights
says there is need for Nigeria’s Military to be part of Election process in the
country, following the large scale violence that greeted the Bayelsa State
governorship elections.
Executive Secretary of CASER Frank Tietie at a press
briefing says only the military can protect the sanctity of the ballot by
providing security for citizens to carry out their civic responsibility.
He wondered why recent elections in Nigeria are
witnessing an upsurge in the malaise of violence that has become a trademark of
elections in Nigeria.
Tietie also urged citizens to stop denigrating the Military
at every given opportunity, insisting that kudos must be given to the Nigerian
Military for averting a disaster in Bayelsa State, adding that the Military hierarchy
has to become more vociferous in their zero tolerance for violence during
elections.
