APC Demands Replacement of Late-Comer INEC Officials
The Sokoto State chapter of the All Progressives Congress (APC) has called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to replace officials who allegedly compromised their positions during the presidential and National Assembly elections held on February 25. 

Isa Sadiq-Achida, the state APC chairman, made this call while speaking to journalists in Sokoto on Saturday. 

He urged INEC and security agencies to set up an investigation committee to thoroughly investigate those who destroyed ballot boxes or tore ballot papers during the polls.

According to Mr Sadiq-Achida, some officials deliberately reported to duty late and connived with politicians to perpetrate overvoting in favour of a particular political party or candidate. He also alleged that some officials refused to use the BVAS machines for their selfish interests during the elections. 

The APC chairman called on INEC to replace all those officials who compromised their positions and subverted the electoral process.

Mr Sadiq-Achida expressed dismay over a video clip that went viral of a high-ranking official in one of the opposition political parties calling on members of a vigilance group and thugs to support their party to actualize its political dreams. 

He said the development vindicated the APC's position that some opposition politicians were behind the violence that occurred during the Presidential and National Assembly elections in Sokoto.

The APC chairman called on supporters of the party in the state to come out en masse for the March 11 governorship and state Assembly elections to exercise their civic right and vote for all the party’s candidates. 

He assured the people of Sokoto State that adequate security arrangements have been put in place by the security agencies to protect their lives, rights and dignity.

Mr Sadiq-Achida commended the people of the state for their peaceful conduct during the presidential and National Assembly elections and urged them to maintain the same spirit of peaceful coexistence. He said the APC would remain law-abiding and respect the constitutional authorities in safeguarding the good people of the state.
