Kwara LG Poll: Centre for Public Accountability Calls for Full Participation, Urges KWASIEC to Issue Observer Tags and Ensure Fair Election

AS a Civil Society Organization established by patriotic Nigerians with the aim of addressing issues around accountability and Transparency across all Public Sectors in Nigeria through the lens of accounting, Audit, and Transparency practices relating to public policy in Nigeria, the Centre for Public Accountability (Kwara State Chapter) wishes to address the General P***c as regards the Local Government Election which would take place on the 21st of September, 2024 according to the Timetable of the Kwara State Independent Electral Commission(KWASIEC).

While we wish to remind Kwarans that voting in an election like this particular one is one of their Civic rights guaranteed by not only the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999(As altered) but also the Electoral Act 2022(As amended) and several other local and International Laws, thus all Kwarans of voting should endeavour to come out en masse with their Permanent Voters Card(PVC)to cast and protect their votes for Candidates of their choice.

And that voters should be rest assured of their safety as security agencies are all out to protect them and make the election an itch free one. On this, parents/Guardians should warn their Children/Wards not to partake in any form of violence or election Malpractice but should join hands with security agencies to cub this menace by co-operating and giving out valuable information them.

More so, we also want to register our confidence on the Alhaji Muhammed Baba-Okanla led Electoral Umpire in Kwara State (KWASIEC) that the agency is prepared for the upcoming election as we believe that all hands are now on deck and KWASIEC is on their part ready for the Saturday poll.

Thus, we urge KWASIEC to conduct a Free and Fair election that will reflect the will of Kwarans. KWASIEC should be Transparent and Unbiased in treatment of participants in the election and not to do anything that will make Kwarans to lose confidence in them. It is our candid advice that on election day, Chairmanship votes should be counted at the kwasiec Local government collation centre while Counsilorship should be counted and collated at the Kwasiec Ward collation centres as contained in the laws and regulations guiding Kwasiec and elections in Kwara State. We also want to add that kwasiec should provide electoral materials such as party Agent And observer Tagg should be provided by kwasiec and on no account should the election be postponed.

However, information within our disposal has revealed that some political parties and/or Candidates that are going to partake in the Tomorrow’s Local Government Election in Kwara State are already using Thugs and some bad elements among the security agencies to intimidate and harass their opponents.

It is premised on the above that we wish to call on the Commissioner of Police for Kwara state as well as Heads of other security agencies to look into this and make sure the culprit are being brought to book irrespective of their status so as to protect our Democracy and electoral system. Also, we hereby call upon all all the Security Agencies to mentain absolute Neutrality and professionalism while discharging their duties before, during and after the election. And that, we call on all of them to respect the rights of the citizens and not to conspire with unscrupulous elements in sabotaging the proper conduct of the election.

Our plea also goes to all the Political parties that will be partaking in the election and their Candidates/flagbearers to observe a sportsmanship attitude throughout the election and not to see the election as a Do or Die affairs.

Lastly, Centre for Public Accountability hereby extend our best wishes to all Kwarans for Fruitful and Violence free election come Saturday September 21, 2024 while we urge all kwarans to be law abiding before, during and after the election.
