Mohammed was reacting to a widely-circulated report, credited to an INEC official, that the 2023 general elections face a serious threat of cancellation due to insecurity.
The minister said there is no cause for alarm over the fake report as all hands are on deck to ensure peaceful and credible conduct of the polls.
The minister assured;
The position of the Federal Government remains that the 2023 elections will be held as planned. Nothing has happened to change that position.
We are aware that INEC is working with the security agencies to ensure that the elections are successfully held across the country.
The security agencies have also continued to assure Nigerians that they are working tirelessly to ensure that the elections are held in a peaceful atmosphere.
