Respect independence of INEC - Saraki cautions politicians

Date: 2015-03-23

The Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, Senator Abubakar Bu­kola Saraki has said the sanctity of office of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission and the independence of the electoral body must be respected by the political class.

Senator Saraki, who was speaking in an interview on the sideline of the APC campaign in Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State said anything short of that would put the conduct of credible elections in jeopardy.

The former governor of Kwara State, in reaction to the allegation that the INEC chair, Prof. Attahiru Jega would be compelled to proceed on leave, said politicians as players in the electoral process must allow INEC as an umpire to discharge its responsibility without interference, fear or favour.

Meanwhile, the Kwara State Governor and APC governorship candidate, Dr. Abdulfatah Ahmed has promised that if re-elected, his administration would upscale the provision of infrastructure and human capital development in all parts of the state.

Governor Ahmed gave this assurance in the course of the APC campaign in Baruten Local Government Area of the state, stressing that all on-going projects in the area would be completed.

Dr. Ahmed, who appreciated the massive turnout at the campaign, said his administration had in the last four years ensured rural development, promoted youth employment through various entrepreneurial development initiatives as well as small and medium enterprises development financing.
