Nigeria elections: Stop undermining our democracy – Observers’ group, YIAGA warned
YIAGA and WVG are part of electoral observers in the just-concluded general elections in the country.
National Democratic Front, NDF, while describing the demand as irresponsible, said the demand was a shameful, affirmation of partisanship that should not come from any self-respecting group that ascribes neutrality to itself.Dr. Bolaji Abdulkadir, Secretary General of the group gave this warning in a statement forwarded to our reporter on Sunday.
“It appears the YIAGA’s intention was to create the wrong impression that Mr President was only interested in the credibility of federal elections while state votes can go to the dog. Had President Buhari falling for the ruse and prevent the military from performing their duties during the state elections it is apparent that the People’s Democratic Party , YIAGA’s employer, would have had a field by declaring that it has found its mythical smoking gun.
“YIAGA might have based its frivolous demand to the President on a fabled “assessment” of the state elections but the reality on ground proved that the military was never the issue. Rather, the problem is the posse of unpopular politicians that are yet to accept the reality of the electorate becoming better enlightened under the current dispensation.
