“This (Nasarawa Central state constituen­cy bye-election) is a very crucial election to us. It will be the first election to be conducted in this COVID-19 pandemic. This election will show us how to conduct Edo and Ondo elections. No face mask, no voting but there is need for clarificat­ion on this. The commission is not insisting on surgical face mask. Any face covering would do as the voter approaches the voting point and should not be branded (for campaigns).”

- INEC Chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu.

“The hope is that the military including the police and other security agencies have been given a marching order by the President to control the situation by all means and it is a task that must be done because we cannot allow the situation in the North-West to develop to a worrisome stage like it is in the North-East.”

- Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari.
