TRACKING>>Contrary to the position of the Kaduna State Governor, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, that any interference by the international observers on the election process would result in their going home in body bags, the All Progressives Congress Presidential Campaign Council has said that election process should be interrogated. The Director of Contact and Mobilization of the PCC, Hadza Bala Usman, said this when she inspected the YIAGA Election Monitoring Situation Room in Abuja.
Addressing journalists at the situation room, Bala Usman said: “It’s important for APC as a political party to engage with civil society, to see what civil society is doing to ensure a free and fair election.
“As I mentioned, we are keen to have a transparent, free and fair election. So, we encourage observers, we encourage any form of interrogation of the process.
So, I am here today to lend the voice of the APC to show encouragement to the civil society, to encourage them to ensure that whatever is happening at the polling unit are highlighted for the world to see and whatever incidences happen are brought up for the necessary agencies.
“We want the security agencies to be on ground to provide the necessary support, where INEC is required to deploy additional input and we believe that such situation rooms are very helpful and necessary for such feedbacks.”
