” I commend INEC for it’s neutrality and I urge the commission to continue to live above board in order to get backthe confidence and trust of the People. I also commend Nigerian law enforcement agencies, particularly the Nigerian Police for it’s ability to protect the voters and ensure that the votes of the people counted in the election.”
