The Action Democratic Party (ADP), says the violence, ballot box snatching and rigging recorded in Kogi and Bayelsa State, is a total betrayal of the country’s hard earned democracy.
The party expressed disappointment in the conduct of the elections, based on various reports, and video documents available in the public domain, where gunshots and ballot box snatching were the order of the day, exposing voters, Journalists, local and international observers to high degree of danger.
The party in a statement issued by the National Publicity Secretary of the party, Prince Adelaja Adeoye in Abuja on Sunday, noted that this is one of the worst election in history, where INEC staff would be kidnapped and returned without any consequence or anyone providing the country with useful explanations.
The statement noted that democracy can only be enthroned, when voters are allowed to exercise their franchise freely, without imposing candidates on them with force or inducement.
The statement advises the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to restore confidence in the people of Nigeria, that they are impartial in the conduct of the election.
