The Peoples’ Democratic Party, PDP, has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, against deploying some National Commissioners and Resident Electoral Commission, REC with questionable character to Bayelsa and Kogi states a head of next week’s governorship election. .

The National Publicity Secretary of PDP,. Kola Ologbondiyan,  said this in a statement in Abuja while reacting to INEC’s deployment of extra National Commissioners and Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs, from other states to Kogi and Bayelsa states.

  He urged the commission to use Kogi and Bayelsa elections to demonstrate its commitment to free, fair and credible elections without being influenced or manipulated.

He said the PDP already had a due diligence report on each of the deployed commissioners.

He said, “Our party recognises that while some are of clean records in their previous responsibilities, there are others who are known to be of questionable characters and fared far below expectations in their responsibilities.”

He cautioned INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to note the deployment of officials with known integrity issues was capable of triggering crisis and jeopardising the credibility of the electoral process.

Ologbondiyan  urged  INEC to allow the will of the people to prevail in the forth coming election in the two states..
