Presidency reacts to IRI/NDI report on 2019 elections - Premium Times Nigeria

The Presidency has reacted to the report by the National Democratic Institute and the International Republican Institute , which criticised the 2019 elections has being below standard.

It is instructive that President Buhari clearly won this vote and the report in no way disputes that fundamental fact.However, the most important thing in an election is that it reflects the will of the people which in our circumstances was acknowledged to have been a success by ECOWAS Observer Mission and YIAGA AFRICA whose parallel vote tabulation verified INEC’s presidential election result as announced. This we achieved.

They also pose a problem for electoral observers: across a country of over 190 million, only 40 observers were deployed to observe just 16 states + the Federal Capital Territory . But the fact still remains that major democracies of the world have equally recorded worst turnout in modern history.To pretend otherwise is wrong considering that in 2015, the INEC postponed the election by six weeks under a PDP President, whom – as an incumbent – it was said to help at the time. It didn’t make a difference. Similarly, neither did it aid the sitting President in 2019.
