The Association of Igbo Town Unions (ASITU), has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to use the November 11, 2023, governorship elections in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa states to redeem its image among Nigeria and the international community and organize a free, fair and credible election.
It stated that most Nigerians see INEC as an interested party in every election because it fails to keep promises of organizing free, fair and credible elections in the country, despite the introduction of technological innovations in election management.
The Association urged INEC to use the three governorship polls as an opportunity to maintain neutrality, redeem its image and prove to Nigerians and the international community that it can organize a free, fair, credible and acceptable election. ASITU further charged all political parties in the three governorship elections in the November 11, 2023, governorship election to eschew violence, ballot box stuffing and snatching, vote buying and other election irregularities that have become synonymous with political actors during elections in the country.
