Elections: British High Commissioner Says Over 60 Observers Deployed
By
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Liang, says over 60 observers have been deployed in 15 states around the country for tomorrow’s general elections.
Liang said this in a video shared on Friday while urging Nigerians to go out and vote.
She said although Nigerians were highly disappointed after the elections were postponed last week, that should not deter them from going out to vote.
“Tomorrow is polling day again; we recognise the huge disappointment of Nigerians since they woke up last Saturday to hear the news that the elections have been postponed, but your vote still counts,” she said.
“It’s your chance to make a difference; not just to vote for the politicians of your choice, but also to play your part in Nigeria’s emerging democracy; helping to consolidate the progress since 2015.
“As a long-time friend and partner in Nigeria, we will be playing our part, we will have 60+ observers in 15 states around the country observing the election.
“One thing we will be looking for is ensuring that security services are there to support your democratic right to vote.
