The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, has said that President Muhammadu Buhari did not intervene in the political controversies in
Adamawa State because the matter was purely within the purview of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Asked whether the President would act since the INEC had called on him to discipline the REC who is his appointee, Mohammed said he was not in any position to ‘second guess’ what the President would do on the matter. “I stated there that two reasons why these elections were key were, one, that the use of technology, BVAS, made it difficult for anybody to do the usual thing before by overvoting, stuffing ballots and the rest because once it takes your biometrics, you can’t vote twice.
