Coalition of Civil Society groups in Nigeria, under the umbrella of National Democratic Front (NDF) have urged Nigerians and foreign observers in the country to beam their searchlights on some political actors to enhance fairness.

With this move, the coalition said would foster equality in some sections of the country due to the low distribution of permanent voter cards (PVCs) in some parts of the country.

Rising from a roundtable discussion on the 2015 general election, held in Abuja, on Wednesday, the coalition alleged that Nigerians were going into the elections with so many unanswered questions bordering on the recent activities of the electoral umpire.

The coalition said the low distribution of PVCs in some states might lead to the disenfranchisement of some voters in the country.

The coalition led by the NDF president, Philip Agbese, suggested that the civil society, local and international observers must impress it on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to rise above primordial sentiments during the polls for Nigerians to take him seriously.

He said the already heated argument on ethnic and religious lines would only heal and the nation would bounce back to its place of pride in the society if only the electoral umpire and his agents were forced to understand that no predetermined result could be foist on the people in this technological era.

Agbese further reiterated the readiness of his group to observe the elections fairly and report happenings across the country to the people through the media and apprioprate channels even as there are signs already that Nigerians are prepared to actively hold the elections on Saturday.

“It has become very necessary in view of the troublesome reports and accusations in public domain that Professor Attahiru Jega might have been procured to do the biddings of a few individuals who are no longer comfortable with their political foes in power.

“We are watching and would not tolerate the announcement of any pre-determined results other than what is collated from the polling centres.”

“We call on both local and international observers to help in beaming their searchlights particularly in the north-west where questions of under-age voting, animal voting and abadonement of card reader machines are already being speculated in public domain”, he added.
