questioning the point to voting in this weekend's poll data of these folk to potential voters in lagos one of the places where regional elections will be taking place. she ever heard the new york i'm never in a party that i like at a party show. for me over to do. you know this them are going to be picked up. a lot of who work for the growth that i'm a citizen of no do that i'm the mother i just report that's out of my peers because you got. low group to my family fortune. for more on this let's bring in deeds every correspondent. heisler ish good to see you first how much of these regional elections succeed by the presidential vote.

well it is believed that whoever wins the presidential votes in the presidential election or whatever party reads the presidential election has a higher chance of the regional level but then it's just that's just the general belief here but then if you remember the presidential elections had pockets of violence in different parts of the country and many people are saying that's going to affect the number of people without going to actually vote on saturday and so much i know you've been talking to people in the streets there but what are people saying about what turnout is likely going to be well a lot of people that i spoke to many of the people i spoke to said they were not going to come out and vote and i think if you just try to few of the pauls of people here is to make sure of different emotions it's very very difficult to capture what everybody is feeling right now some people are very excited and happy

they're going to vote because they voted for president and he won well some are saying they don't think their vote is going to count so it's really difficult to see at this point to whether our north the votes out to an impressive but you remember that the presidential election the voter turnout for that was the lowest in history here ok for so we know now that. has launched his challenge against victory. is there any chance he'll succeed. is there any chance he will succeed is difficult for me to think if he actually has a chance in other for him to succeed it will he would have to prove that. he would have to prove that they were actually irregularities and many legal experts are saying that that is that's not really difficult part the difficult part is proving how those irregularities affected the outcome of the election as an

expert. on. something that is going to be daunting what's equipped to do right but does he have concrete evidence. at this point he would be he would have to come out and see if he has any concrete every day is just speaking to people around they have been videos are out of. fourteen stations where people were voting on several thousands of people or is that every day it's enough for them to see that the results of the election do not stand who have to wait and see all right flourished in lagos and the terrorism and violence by armed groups in west africa and the sahara region around two thousand troops from more than thirty african and western countries have been taking part in a military exercise in book enough fossil the exercise exercise me i should say

called flintlock is a us bit aimed at boosting the capacity of african on me in the region especially the g five group which compromises work in a facile chad mali mauritania and. the japanese freed move when you was embedded in this miniature exercise and sent us this report . i did meet our training field in a body in the us of looking up fossils second largest city with soldiers from a commune rooney and a lot of atari on call phone two will be terrorist it's a simulated attack designed to be similar to the west african i mean are likely to encounter on the battlefields this is just an exercise play into it brings together more than two thousand soldiers from with africa europe and the us. it's

a military exercise supported by the us in africa but it's been led by an african nation every us is two thousand and five. you know when this exercise is over we've established relationships we've established interoperability training and left behind real capability for security forces to be confident in their ability to deal with the security for security problems they face in their country or in regional organizations like the g five so how are the chairs multi-national joint task force . looking officer a member of the g five so here stunned into a hotbed of violent extremism. terrorist the french embassy and the military headquarters in we're going to group this official memorial reminds broken people of their loved ones who perished in the attacks. broken office was once a secure country but since two thousand and fifteen two hundred ounce of the people

challenges the u.s. government is expanding its programs in this a hell. i would say that we see the situation where berkin a faso is in a fight and the fight is getting tougher all the members of the g five say hell are united in that fight but we don't. we don't. disabuse ourselves of the fact that we are in a tough fight we are making progress against that fight but we know that it's going to be a struggle over the long term and that's why our investments in developing partnerships are long term. now the training is over all eyes are on the west african markets not on the joint forces i'm told they would defend their home preserve from the hard disk groups without relying on the blocking of waste on troops but to achieve that goal they need a bit of military people meant you know that to stand a chance in the fight and they need some guidance drawings to track down. here
