A group of Civil Society Organisations under the auspices of Centre for Credible Leadership & Citizens Awareness has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to use the Kogi and Bayelsa State Governorship Elections respectively, to correct the mistakes made in the 2019 General Elections.
Addressing the media during the Civil Society Roundtable on Bayelsa and Kogi State Gubernatorial Elections on Thursday, 3rd October, 2019 in Abuja, the Director General of Centre for Credible Leadership & Citizens Awareness, Dr Nwambu Gabriel said that in Bayelsa State, some individuals are still planning to perpetrate Electoral violence in areas like Southern Ijaw, Ekeremor.
“The difficult terrain further makes some of these flash points even more vulnerable and susceptible to electoral related violence, Dr Gabriel said.
Among the issues discussed includes electoral violence, voters apathy, ballot box snatching, thuggery and falsification of elections result.
Other participants who spoke at the roundtable include Bafunso Tunde of Justice & Equity Organization; Funmilayo Akala of United Peace Foundation; Olatunji Abayomi of Entrepreneurship & Support Initiative; Grace Okonkwo of Youth Initiative and Peter Nwokolo, Coordinator of Centre for Credible Leadership & Citizens Awareness.
