The Coalition for a Better and Brighter Nigeria, CBBN, has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to conduct free, fair, and credible governorship elections across the nation.
The group gave the advice when it staged a protest at INEC Headquarters in Jos to submit a letter of disappointment over the conduct of the Feb. 25 presidential and national assembly elections.
The convener Prophet El-buba who led members of his group to present the letter of complaint to the commission on the conduct of the Presidential and National Assembly elections expressed displeasure over the inability of INEC to transmit election results electronically using the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, during the polls.

The Group while urging the commission to present itself as an unbiased umpire, called on the National Chairman Mahmoud Yakubu, to ensure that the process is transparent and credible during the forthcoming governorship and House of Assembly polls.
Oliver Gundu, the Resident Electoral Commission, represented by Mrs Chinyere Okoye, promised to transmit the letter to the chairman of the commission.
El-buba, however, called on Nigerians not to be deterred by the outcome of the presidential elections, but come out to vote for candidates of their choice during the governorship polls.
