Anambra poll: TMG tells security agents, “Be impartial in your operations”

Transition Monitoring Group (TMG), a civil society organisation (CSO), has called for a credible and peaceful governorship election on November 6 in Anambra state.

 

 

 

In a statement on Friday, Auwal Rafsanjani, TMG chairman, asked residents of the state to turn out and vote in the election, as it is their right to choose their leaders.

 

 

He said security agents should be impartial in their operations and ensure peace without creating an atmosphere of fear.

 

 

“Security agencies should live up to the principles of impartiality, neutrality and statesmanship during the election,” he said.

 

 

 

“The electorates, INEC, civil societies and traditional rulers are all urged to support a peaceful process. The TMG will closely observe the electoral process and report any suspected case of violence and irregularities to relevant stakeholders.

 

 

“Though we witnessed a lot of attacks during the build-up to the elections, it is necessary that we discourage the involvement of non-state actors in the political sphere, as damages will hinder the growth and development of the state.

 

 

“I also appeal to the media to monitor and report every irregularity that takes place in the election, and most importantly, stay safe and be watchful as they carry out their engagements.”
