President Muhammadu Buhari has ordered that Nigeria’s borders be made impenetrable to foreign entities that might wish to come in and manipulate the electoral process or participate in other nefarious actions, the man added.

Aregbesola claims that the President has instructed the NIS to make Nigeria’s borders impregnable up until the time that all elections in the country are completed.

According to Obasanjonews24, there are fewer than four weeks until the 2023 elections.
