Inec’s Unpreparedness Marred Polls, Says AU Observers by sophsia62: 1:17pm On Feb 25, 2019
The African Union Election Observation Mission to Nigeria (AUEOM) on Monday stated the failure of INEC to provide essential materials during the Saturday elections marred the outlook of the election.

According to a preliminary report released by the group during a press briefing in Abuja on Monday, all 16 voting points observed by the AUEOM in rural and urban areas were delayed for over an hour over late arrivals of polling officials and election materials as well as poor preparation of voting points.

The group also noted that polling staff in general did not demonstrate sufficient knowledge and competence in application of the opening

In addition, the report disclosed that 13 of the 16 voting points observed were not accessible to Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) due to their placement in uneven ground.

The Head of Mission AUEOM, and Former Prime Minister of Ethiopia, Hallemariam Desalegn Boshe, congratulated INEC but urged the commission to expeditiously and transparently collate and announce the results of the election.

The group called on INEC to strengthen the capacity of polling staff through training on assisting voters, counting and other electoral procedures.

AUEOM also implored Nigerians and stakeholders to refrain from disseminating fake news and information, particularly on the results.

And Buhari? He can't just get even the simplest things right. Smh...

Toh

A situation where institutionalised incompetence and systemic ineptitude favour the party in power.


They deliberately allowed many parties register to arrive at the map called a ballot paper. By this they knew the boxes would be smaller and engaged in Voter education telling their supporters not to vote with thumbs but index fingers. INEC started polls late in many places but ended early. Meanwhile results in urban areas are yet to arrive at collation centres allowing for mid-stream manipulation. INEC countered (as planned) telling thr general public to use 'any finger' but that 'it shouldn't cross the line'. Many of the cancelled votes were due to the small box!

But even with all this, Nigeria will prevail.

Late opening of polls in some parts of the country has always been associated with our elections. Although, INEC should have done better given the time and age that we're in now.
However, INEC has also been congratulated and urged to expeditiously and transparently collate and announce the results of the election.
I am very sure that this is not the kind of discredit that some people are looking since they've seen the incoming defeat of their preferred Presidential candidate.
Indeed, those kind of people will be disappointed to read this

The Team shouldn't be in a hurry to leave as collation is still in progress. This will enable them give a more detailed report of the election
