Prominent civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria, HURIWA, has warned that the credibility of the off-cycle elections in Imo, Kogi and Bayelsa States, was at risk without the use of IReV and BVAS.
The rights group tabled their concerns in a press statement by its National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko in Abuja on Monday.
Also, HURIWA said it was in doubt that the off-circle governorship poll in Imo State would be transparent as INEC has not redeployed the Resident Electoral Commissioner. HURIWA’s Onwubiko said; “We have watched with unfathomable amazement, the attempt, by the Independent National Electoral Commission to once more hood wink Nigerian voters in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States into believing their propaganda that ‘all the glitches experienced during the general elections of February 2023 had been taken care of’.
“She said INEC has put a lot of plans in place to guarantee early deployment of sensitive materials to polling units, including ad hoc officers camping near polling units a day before the exercise. “Rather than people moving from the local government headquarters to the various polling units, they are moved closer to the Pus where they are going to work. So, I can assure you that, God willing, we will deploy early”.
