Civil rights advocacy group, Human Rights Writers Association of Nigeria (HURIWA) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to ensure that its election result viewing portal (IREV) and the bimodal voter accreditation system (BVAS) are utilized and working perfectly during the November 11 governorship elections in Kogi, Bayelsa, and Imo states.
The group’s National Coordinator, Comrade Emmanuel Onwubiko, who gave the charge in a press statement
in Abuja on Monday, warned the electoral umpire that its credibility will be at stake if it goes ahead to conduct the off-cycle elections without the optimal use of the IReV and BVAS.
“We have watched with unfathomable amazement, the attempt, by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to once more hoodwink Nigerian voters in Kogi, Imo and Bayelsa States into believing their propaganda that ‘all the glitches experienced during the general elections of February 2023 had been taken care of’,” Onwubiko said.
