The European Union (EU) Election Observation Mission (EU-EOM) says election observers will not violate their oath to remain neutral in Nigeria.
On Sunday, the EU-EOM led by Robert Hall and Diana Ferrari visited Olumba-Olumba Obu, the founder of the Brotherhood of the Cross and Star, (BCS), in Calabar, Cross-River State capital.
Speaking during the visit, Hall said the team would observe the polls in Cross-River and Akwa-Ibom States.
He said the mission would maintain neutrality while observing the elections.
On his part, Obu assured the EU delegates of safety throughout their stay in Nigeria, while urging them to freely carry out their duties.
“I urge Nigerians to conduct themselves peacefully during and after the general election. This election must be devoid of vote buying, rigging, violence, and killings”, he said.
