WHAT THE ADAMAWA REC DID IS THE SAME THING YAKUBU DID BY HURRIEDLY ANNOUNCING PRESIDENTIAL RESULTS -UBANI

Chairman of the Nigerian Bar Association Section on Public Interest and Development Law, NBA -SPIDEL, Dr. Monday Onyekachi Ubani has asserted that the action of the Adamawa State INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Yunusa Ari was same as that of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission,INEC, Prof Mahmud Yakubu in hurriedly announcing the Presidential election results.

“We thank INEC for doing the right thing by cancelling that illegality.
However, what the Adamawa REC did is the same thing INEC, Prof Yakubu did in hurriedly announcing Presidential election results by 4am when there were still issues with the process of the collation.

No matter what you have done with the electoral act, the human factor is important. INEC officials and security agents need to be dealt with. In this 2023 election, I saw INEC officials and security agents asking party agents for money. So, we should reduce the human factor. A comprehensive investigation of what happened in Adamawa should be done. Who authorized the Security Chiefs to sit with him?
“Somebody must have authorized him to announce it and “let them go to court”. Now it has boomeranged they have all washed their hands.

From all international reviews, the world regards the election as not being without due process. There should be consequences,it should not be swept under the carpet. There should be punishment to serve as deterrent. Since the REC is a lawyer, the NBA should also discipline him professionally.

Other security agencies like DSS and NSCDC were urged to emulate the IGP, by disciplining the involved officers.From all international reviews, the world regards the election as not being without due process.
