A group under the Intercontinental Leadership Initiative and Coalition of INEC Accredited Observer Groups have commended Nigerians who came out and exercise their franchises by voting for the candidates of their choice as well as the INEC for its efforts in ensuring a credible election.
The group at a press conference in Jos on Monday by Stafford Jedidiah Bisong however described as unfortunate the late arrival of INEC officials and the Adhoc staff at most polling units due to insufficient Vehicles to transport them.
“Most polling units suffered few electoral materials provided for the voters.
For example, Nyes 018 Polling Unit, Mangu LGA Plateau State where one BVAS was to serve over a thousand people”.
“There was no provision made by INEC for the Filed Staff for welfare like food, drinks, and a place to sleep for The two days of work and this made some of the staff express their regrets for coming out to work. And at the end of the voting exercise, there was no vehicle readily available for transportation of staff and Logistics.”
Bisong called on INEC to work towards the area of logistics and BVAS Technology moving forward.
“We also call on the Inspector General of Police and Heads of other Security agencies to also improve on security delivery in subsequent elections especially the fourth coming governorship and state houses of the assembly coming up on March 11, 2023
