The Inter Party Advisory Council (IPAC) in Yobe State has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for organising elections that substantially complied with the Electoral Act.
Alhaji Umar Kukuri, the state Chairman of the Council, made the commendation in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Damaturu on Tuesday.
“IPAC commends INEC for organising a free, fair, credible and acceptable election in the state as attested to by election observers
“I want to thank the people of Yobe for conducting themselves peacefully and resisting security threats to elect leaders of their choice.
“I also wish to commend all political parties, the candidates and their supporters for placing collective interest, peace and security above selfish interests.
“The effort of security agencies in ensuring peaceful electioneering across the state is highly commendable
“With the elections now over, IPAC appeals to the people of the state to support the elected public officers to move the state forward.
“We should put the rivalry of the elections behind us and face the task of building our state,” he further appealed.
He further urged federal and state legislators to support the executive arms of government to provide more dividends of democracy to the electorate.
