Coalition of Domestic Election Observer Groups for the 2019 general elections in Niger State has praised INEC for doing its possible best to eradicate underaged voters during the polls.
Abdullahi Jabi, Group chairman, gave this commendation as he spoke to journalists on the result of the elections conducted in the state.
His words, “INEC made it clear that it would not allow any underaged persons to be part of the electoral process in order to ensure that elections were conducted in a dignified manner, devoid of rancour.
“Our democracy is getting more matured, more interesting and more competitive by the electoral actors and stakeholders deepening the electoral process and electorate building confidence in INEC process as unbiased electoral institution.”
Abdullahi was not pleased with some ad-hoc staff though, he said they were clueless of their roles despite the fact that INEC trained them very well ahead of the elections.
