In spite of growing security concerns, a pan-Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, has restated the need for the forthcoming general elections to hold as scheduled.
The National Publicity Secretary, Afenifere, Jare Ajayi, maintained that any attempt to cancel or postpone the elections will be unacceptable.
He recalled that in 2015 there was insecurity to the extent that some local government areas, specifically in Borno State, were in the hands of Boko Haram terrorists but elections were held.
