Ahead of the 2023 general elections, the former Sierra Leone President, Mr Mike Koroma today 23 February 2023 led Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)Election Monitoring Team to the Defence Headquarters (DHQ) in Abuja.

The Head of ECOWAS monitoring  team identified the issues of fuel scarcity and difficulty experienced by the masses to obtain  new naira currency as a contending threat to the elections, but however expressed hope that there is a strong determination  by  stakeholders to achieve a hitch-free election.

In a remark at the occasion, the Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), General Lucky Irabor expressed his delight over hosting the former Sierra Leone President and other members of the ECOWAS team. He recalled his peace keeping mission days in Sierra Leone during the regin of Mike Koroma; and noted that the former leader did his best to ensure a peaceful democratic transition. He described him as a role model in Africa. Regarding   the maintenance of security during the elections, General Irabor explained that the Nigeria Police Force being a lead security agency with other para-military agencies at the forefront will  have residual support of members of the armed forces. He emphasized  that the military will remain at the background of the election as demanded by the constitution which requires military aid in support of civil authority. The CDS expressed optimism over the readiness of military and other security agencies to leave up to the expectation of Nigerians during the elections. He assured the ECOWAS team of a hitch-free and successful electioneering process.
