"The reports we are getting so far are very depressing. We have had reports from Kosofe, Somolu, Mushin, Ikeja, Surulere, Ajah. We can't turn this country into a group of people under mob rule. People cannot exercise their rights very freely," George said.
He further expressed concerns over the militarization of the election process, saying it was wrong to deploy soldiers to oversee it. He said military personnel could intimidate voters and create tension, leading to voter apathy.
George also criticised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its handling of the election, stating that the electoral body needed to do more to ensure that the voting process was transparent, accessible, and fair.
"The conduct of the election so far has not been very satisfactory. There have been issues with the card readers, and we have heard reports of vote buying and intimidation of voters. INEC needs to do more to ensure that the process is transparent, free, and fair," he added.
He called on security agencies to ensure that perpetrators of violence and voter suppression were brought to book. He also urged Nigerians to remain calm and peaceful, encouraging them to come out en masse to exercise their franchise.
