The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has expressed worries about the rising insecurity in the country ahead of the 2023 election, accusing state governors of promoting violence.

Speaking at a press conference, the IPAC Chairman claimed many governors use sponsored touts to intimidate opposition parties.

He called on security agencies to apprehend the perpetrators and their sponsors so they can face justice.

The IPAC leader also said the Independent National Electoral Commission’s (INEC) decision to deploy technology in next the elections is in tandem with their stands.

He claimed that INEC’s resolve to deploy the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) among others, attracted attacks to its facilities nationwide and heightened the calls for the removal of its Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu.
