He said the government would do everything possible to not only ensure that elections were conducted next year but also secure the country. 

Mohammed restated that the government had provided security agencies with everything required to end the reign of terror. 

Reacting to a question on the concern raised by some civil society organisations that the worsening insecurity in the country might affect the 2023 election, he said: “Yes, it is true that some groups have been worried and concerned whether, given the state of insecurity in the country, there can’t be elections. I can assure you there will be elections because the federal government will do everything possible, not just to make sure there is election, but to secure the country.”
