Poll Observers describe Enugu Elections as peaceful, transparent, credible

…Debunk alleged irregularities by APC members

A
coalition of accredited independent Observers for the Presidential and
National Assembly Elections held in Enugu State, on Saturday, have
expressed utmost satisfaction with conduct of the exercise in the state,
describing it as “most peaceful, credible and free and fair”, devoid of
“violence, irregularities, thuggery or snatching of ballot boxes”.

Speaking
to newsmen at the Headquarters of the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC), during the collation of election results from the
Local Government Areas, the Coordinator of Civil Society in Enugu State,
Samuel Onoja, while reacting to alleged irregularities by some National
Assembly candidates and members of the All Progressives Congress (APC)
in Enugu State, stated that there is no iota of truth in the
allegations.

Onoja said they were “shocked” by the alleged
“fighting, thuggery, fake result sheets and all sorts of things”,
stressing that the elections were “free and fair, transparent and
peaceful”.

According to him, “the election in Enugu State has
been free and fair. All the observers deployed to various polling
booths, reported to me and we have not heard of any thuggrey, any
snatching of ballot boxes. We have not heard of any problem.

“I
think the election held in Enugu State is more peaceful and transparent
than in any other state in this country because we went round the state
such as Nsukka, Agbani in Nkanu and Aninri. All the places we went to, I
don’t think there was problem anywhere. “INEC are people that we
respect and I will say kudos to them because this is the best INEC we
have seen so far in this country”.

When asked to comment on their
general assessment of the election in the country, the coordinator
said: “It is Enugu State that we have been posted to and it is only
Enugu that I have observed the exercise, but from the report I received
from other places, I know that there are places that there were little
misunderstanding but I believe the INEC personnel, the SSS, the police
and other security agencies did their job very well”.
