Bayelsa: Cancel Elections In Brass, Nembe & S/Ijaw, Group Tells INEC

URGENT APPEAL TO INEC TO CANCEL ELECTIONS IN SOME POLLING UNITS IN NEMBE, BRASS, AND SOUTHERN IJAW
WHERE THERE WERE PRE WRITTEN RESULT SHEETS

The Save Democracy Group, represented by its Spokesperson, Comrade Marthins Aberemangigha Adawari, urgently calls on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to take swift and decisive action in light of disturbing reports of electoral malpractices in some polling Units in Nembe, Brass, and Southern Ijaw.

It has come to our attention that result sheets were pre-written in these polling units, casting a shadow over the legitimacy of the electoral process. Additionally, we have received credible information indicating that the Biometric Voter Authentication System (BVAS) was neglected in numerous polling units in Nembe, Brass, and Southern Ijaw.

Drawing attention to the precedent set in the Kogi governorship elections, where INEC canceled results in almost 9 wards due to similar irregularities, the Save Democracy Group emphasizes the need for immediate intervention to protect the sanctity of the democratic process.

Comrade Marthins Aberemangigha Adawari, as the spokesperson for the Save Democracy Group, sternly warns INEC against undermining the will of the people. The consequences of allowing such electoral misconduct to persist are grave and erode the foundations of our democratic principles

In light of these alarming reports, the Save Democracy Group vehemently calls on INEC to conduct a thorough and transparent investigation into the reported irregularities. If necessary, we demand the cancellation of elections in these polling units in Nembe, Brass, and Southern Ijaw to preserve the integrity of our democracy.

The Save Democracy Group trusts that INEC will uphold its commitment to fair and transparent elections, and we anticipate that decisive measures will be taken to address these issues promptly.
