Gov’ship Polls: NSA, INEC Ask Candidates To Call Supporters To Order CoverStories
Urging the citizens to preempt and take the law into their own hands, the NSA said, “What we do not want to happen is for anybody to preempt, and to take the law into his or her own hands. I want to be very, very clear on this. We’re going to give the maximum support to all entities involved in this process.
Monguno also commended the efforts of the various political parties and the individuals that participated in the last election who called for peace and calm. INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, said on Monday March 13, the commission held a virtual meeting with all the Resident Electoral Commissioners in which it reviewed preparations for the state elections.
He noted that the governorship and state assembly elections on Saturday involve more constituencies than the national elections held about three weeks ago. “They should refrain from acts of violence that may mar the elections or compromise the security of our personnel, observers, the media, and service providers,” Yakubu said.
He noted that the commission was looking forward to improved performance in the elections holding this weekend.
