Violence Will Not Be Tolerated – NSA Sends Warning Ahead Of Anambra Gubernatorial

The National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, has issued a stern warning to politicians and stakeholders ahead of the November 8, 2025, Anambra governorship election.

Speaking on Tuesday at the meeting of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) held at INEC Headquarters, Abuja, the NSA warned that violence will not be tolerated.

Represented by the Director of Internal Security, Hassan Abdullahi, the NSA reaffirmed the Federal Government’s commitment to ensuring a peaceful and secure environment for the poll.

He charged political parties and candidates to promote peace and discourage violence before, during, and after the exercise.

The NSA noted that the government is working with political leaders and local stakeholders to ensure the non-tolerance of violence.

“We are engaging with political leaders and local stakeholders to send a clear message that violence will not be tolerated,” he said.

According to him, the Office of the NSA is committed to implementing President Bola Tinubu’s directive on the strategic mobilisation of security forces during the electoral period.

He further stated that enhanced surveillance, deployment of adequate security personnel, and improved intelligence gathering have been put in place to prevent any attempt by destructive elements or desperate politicians to undermine the electoral process in the state.
