The IG says voters should go home after casting their
ballots,......he says we should not wait to protect our votes.
In response, on Channels TV this morning, INEC Chairman,
Professor Attahiru Jega made the following assertions.


1. That the electoral law does not state anywhere that
voters cannot, or should not wait to watch, and ensure that
their votes are counted.


2.That INEC encourages, and is encouraging voters to wait
behind, monitor the process, and watch their votes counted.
He made it clear that the law expects such voters staying
behind, to however conduct themselves in an orderly manner.
He said this was done in 2011, and was successful.


3. That what the electoral law says, is that anyone that
has no business with the electoral process at the polling
booths, but desires to monitor events, should stay at least
300 meters off the polling booths.

-He however clarified that a voter has business with the
process, and therefore cannot be classified along with
those that don't have business there.
The IG has no constitutional right to rewrite the law.
In a nutshell, you have every right under the electoral law (if
you are a legitimate voter),to wait behind, ensure your votes
are counted, as long as you conduct yourself in an orderly
manner.

Obviously the police wants to try something fishy.
