The coordinator of the organisation, Abiodun Ajijola told reporters on Friday in Abuja that cases of election postponements have become too frequent and made a mockery of the nation’s electoral processes. This comes after 22 civil society organisations (CSOs) asked Nigerians to rise against the ‎premeditated onslaught by some politicians on INEC with a con-convener and Executive Director of Conscience Nigeria (CN), Tosin Adeyanju urging the commission to ignore threat by some politicians against INEC and that that Nigerians must rally round the electoral umpire to save it from influence of corrupt politicians. “There is mounting pressure by certain groups for a postponement of the 2016 Ondo State governorship election. Although INEC has said that it is going ahead with the November 26 date, we are worried that history could repeat itself. The same scenario played out in the 2016 Edo State election,” Ajijola said. He said the main reason being propounded for the date shift was due to the court cases affecting some parties and that it would be unfair on over 35 parties to destabilise the process because of one or two parties’ internal crisis and that INEC cannot continue to shift elections until some parties resolves their internal crises. He also urged President Muhammadu Buhari to direct law enforcement agents to forestall any possible outbreak of violence and to arrest and prosecute anyone found fomenting violence. The Chairman of INEC Professor Mahmood Yakubu represented by the commission’s Director of Election Party Monitoring (EPM) Bala Shittu assured of the commission’s preparedness to conduct the November 26 elections as scheduled.]]>
