The Resident Electoral Commissioner in charge of Kaduna State, Alhaji Haliru Tambuwal, yesterday explained why he visited the Vice President Mohammed Namadi Sambo at his residence last Saturday before the election was suspended. The sighting of the REC at the VP’s residence last Saturday made opposition political parties and their candidates jittery, even as many of them expressed reservation over the visit.


INEC chairman Professor Attahiru Jega had also warned the RECs against visiting government officials especially state governors, arguing that doing such will undermine their independence.
