  • First Election Security Threat Assessment
    SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election.

    Received by NSD/FARA Registration Unit 05/15/2020 6:30:11 PM April 29, 2020 Hon. David Perdue United States Member of Congress 455 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20510 Dear Senator Perdue, As concerned citizens, constituents, and members of the Nigerian diaspora in the United States, we write to call your attention to the volatile and violent situation in Nigeria in which minority groups and those with dissenting views, including the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), are being victimized and persecuted with impunity while the Buhari government stands silently by - and in some instances participates. Without urgent attention and the assistance of the international community, conditions will continue to deteriorate, compromising U.S. interests in the region and repeating the atrocities and bloodshed the world has witnessed far too often in this part of the globe. Over the past five years, there has been a sharp increase in criminality and spreading insecurity; widespread failure by the federal authorities to investigate and hold perpetrators accountable, even for mass killings; and a generalized break down of the rule of law. This has been exacerbated by the proliferation of small and military-grade weapons made readily available as a result of regional instability and originating from as far north as the Libyan conflict. Despite this recognized humanitarian crisis, the Nigerian government has increasingly dismissed religious and human rights concerns, and continued to perpetrate violations of its own. There are many documented incidences of violence led by state security actors, but no mechanisms by which to hold the Administration accountable. In its 2018 Nigeria Human Rights Report, the U.S.
