In anticipation of the local government election, the Inter-Party Advisory Council of Yobe State has called upon the State Independent Electoral Commission to perform its duties impartially, in accordance with the constitution.
The Chairman of IPAC in Yobe State, Umar Adamu Jajere, made this call on Saturday during a press briefing in Damaturu, the state capital.
“We are also calling on the State Independent Electoral Commission to shun partisanship and discharge its duties as required by the constitution,” he urged.
Jajere advised eligible voters in the state to turn out in large numbers and vote for the party of their choice on May 25, 2024.
“We also acknowledge the commitment of the governor to ensure that the election takes place in a free, fair, and conducive environment.
“In fact, we are assured by His Excellency, Hon Mai Mala Buni, the Executive Governor of Yobe State, that an equal playing ground will be provided for all candidates from various registered political parties,” Jajere said.
Meanwhile, the Peoples Democratic Party in the state has announced that it will not participate in the upcoming local government election. The main opposition party also accused the state electoral commission of deliberately failing to inform political parties in the state about the schedule of activities for the forthcoming election.
