INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in charge of Sokoto state, Alhaji Abubakar Sadiq Musa, has frowned at the police who barred political party agents and journalists from entering the collation centre for the governorship election held on Saturday.
Musa, who was not happy with the action of the Police, said “this is not your process, it’s our process. So, you cannot deny party agents entry into the centre.”
“If they don’t enter, who will sign my results,” he queried the policemen who used expired tyres to block the way leading to the centre.
One of the policemen told the REC that they were directed not to allow anybody to enter the centre with car, to which the REC replied that “nobody can give such directive because it is our process.”
Earlier, one of the policemen had threatened to deplete the tyre of Daily Trust reporter if he did not drive away from the place even after identifying himself properly.
