Protesters’ Demand For Ondo REC Redeployment Is Needless – APC

The ruling All Progressives Congress has come out to warn the opposition to desist from targeting state Resident Electoral Commissioners and sponsoring needless demonstrations on the eve of major elections.

The National Publicity Director of the APC, Bala Ibrahim recently had his say while speaking to the press, and Nigerians have been reacting.

According to him, the trend of demanding REC redeployment before a major election in the country is becoming a vicious circle, and he recalls a similar scenario in the build-up to the Edo State governorship election where supporters of the Peoples Democratic Party made a similar demand.

He added that some people are sponsored to protest against the state REC simply to disrupt the upcoming election.

His words, “These protesters might have been sponsored to come and demonstrate. Her relationship with people should not be used against her. It is the way and manner she conducts herself. If it infringes on the position of the law, she should be sanctioned. If it doesn’t, I don’t see any reason she should be redeployed.

We have seen such shenanigans in Edo where, prior to the election, some people were sponsored to protest against the state REC simply because he has a relationship with someone.

Anybody holding public office in Nigeria, especially one that has to do with being an umpire, you are bound to be accused of one thing or the other by people who don’t have confidence in themselves. Accusations will always come from people who are not properly prepared to face an election.

If there is anything to show she is involved in wrongdoing, she should be sanctioned or transferred. But if there is none, the onus is on those making the allegation to prove it. The position of the law is that you are innocent until proven otherwise.”

WOW.
