…Says Commission awaits S’Court judgment on CBN Gov. to take a stand
A veteran journalist and National Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission, (INEC), representing the North-Central zone, Muhammed Haruna, has disclosed that the Commission will not deploy to insecurity-prone areas in the country for the forthcoming 2023 general elections.
In an interview with Voice of Liberty’s Abdull-Azeez ahmed Kadir, at the weekend, Haruna expressed the concern of the Commission about conducting free, fair and seamless elections in such areas.
He stated: “We are absolutely really concerned; we have said it consistently, we would not toy with the lives or limbs of our staff; whether they are ad-hoc or permanent. Anywhere we see any sign of insecurity, we would not deploy.
The INEC Commissioner also spoke on other topical issues regarding the election exercise, such as the Continues Voters Registration (CVR), monitoring of campaign funds by political parties, as well as the stand of the Commission with regards to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) Governor’s decision to go to court to decide his fate on the 2023 presidential race.
