The Independent National Electoral Commission has refuted allegations that it met with representatives of the Adamawa State Government to rig the governorship election.<\/p>\n

The denial followed a report that its representatives, sent to oversee the governorship rerun, paid a nocturnal visit to the state government house with the apparent goal of rigging the results in favour of incumbent Gov. Ahmadu Fintiri.<\/p>\n

Festus Okoye, National Commissioner and Chairman of the Committee on Information and Voter Education, refuted the claims in a statement on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Okoye said \u201cThe attention of the Commission has been drawn to a Press Statement by a candidate in the recently concluded Adamawa State Governorship election<\/a> in which officials deployed for legitimate duty in the State were alleged to have undermined the electoral process after a discreet \u2018nocturnal\u2019 visit to the Government House and ostensibly met with one of the candidates in the election who gave them a list of \u2018collation and returning officers\u2019 deployed for the election.<\/p>\n

\u201cOrdinarily, the Commission does not join issues with partisan actors, particularly where no evidence has been provided.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo set the record straight, no such visit or meeting took place let alone the compilation of any purported list of collation and returning officers. Such a meeting would have been contrary to the oath of neutrality that we all swore to.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover, every conscientious observer would have noticed that the Commission appointed and retained only one Returning Officer for the Governorship election who also doubled as the State Collation Officer for the Presidential Election. Like all Returning Officers nationwide, he was issued with a letter of appointment by the Commission and the Resident Electoral Commissioner in Adamawa State was duly informed.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe list of Collation Officers was also forwarded to the State with every page of the list personally endorsed by the Chairman of the Commission well ahead of the arrival of the National Commissioners.\u201d<\/p>\n

The national commissioner further said the same press statement created the impression that the National Headquarters of the commission specifically targeted Adamawa state in its deployment of National Commissioners and other officials with the sole intention of influencing the outcome of the supplementary election held on Saturday 25th April 2023 and sidelining the REC.<\/p>\n

He noted, \u201cNothing can be further from the truth. For the record, it has been the standard policy and practice of the Commission to deploy National Commissioners, RECs and other staff from the headquarters or neighbouring States for supplementary or off-cycle elections where doing so is considered necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the case of Adamawa State where supplementary governorship election was held in 69 polling units, two National Commissioners were deployed while for Kebbi State involving 142 polling units, three National Commissioners were deployed. Similarly, one National Commissioner each was deployed to Sokoto, Zamfara, Imo, Rivers, Ekiti and Ogun States.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been the standard practice of the Commission of which all RECs are informed in advance. Therefore, Adamawa State was not specifically targeted. In all other States, the RECs worked cooperatively with the National Commissioners except in Adamawa State for reasons that are now obvious to all.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe public is advised to discountenance these insinuations as nothing more than a claptrap. We also advise those behind the mischief to desist forthwith as such fabrications have endangered the lives of our officials (both ad hoc and regular) engaged in legitimate election duties. We expect well-meaning citizens to act within the bounds of propriety and decency.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
