The West Africa Democracy Solidarity Network (WADEMOS), a coalition of civil society organisations (CSOs), has warned that the country’s continuing fuel crisis may have a negative impact on the 2023 elections, which are scheduled for February, as it may affect the logistics and distribution of materials prior to the general elections.
CSOs stated that there is cause for concern considering that past elections in the nation were delayed, in part because of logistical issues, during a news conference that was held after its mission of solidarity in Nigeria concluded on Saturday.

WADEMOS asked the administration to boost fuel supply in order to decrease the possibility that the current shortages might affect the election.
“Observations have been made about multiple security concerns that could significantly threaten the smooth conduct of the elections,” its Director, Advocacy and Policy Engagement, Dr. Kojo Pumpuni Asante said.
“These include the strong undertone of religious and ethnic tensions taking center-stage in the political discourse and debate among political parties and candidates alike.”
The statement added: “Another issue of concern is around the deployment of materials and logistics ahead of the election. This fear is exacerbated by the current long-running incidence of fuel scarcity in the country. We strongly note the postponement of previous elections in Nigeria, partly due to logistical concerns.
“This has the tendency of increasing voter apathy and turnout, particularly for voters who will travel long distances to their polling stations.
“Again, it has implications for the movement of security personnel and patrol teams that will be deployed to provide security for the election.”

This post will help the internet users for building up new weblog or even a blog from start to end.
Superb blog! Do you have any helpful hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
