The Jama’atu Nasril Islam (JNI) has tasked the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), security agencies, observers, media and Nigerians to ensure peaceful and credible polls for Nigeria to elect credible leaders.
JNI Secretary General, Dr. Khalid Abubakar Aliyu, in a statement on Monday said as accredited observers for the 2023 elections, JNI has engaged qualified members from its states branches across the country to partake in exercise.
“Jama’atu Nasril Islam sees election observation as a valuable tool towards improving the quality of elections in Nigeria. Observers help build public confidence in the transparency of electoral processes. They help promote and protect the civic and franchise rights of participants in elections. They also aid towards correction of errors or administrative deficiencies that lead to manipulation and fraud, or expose such problems if they occur.
“JNI National Headquarters, being one of the accredited observers in the forthcoming 2023 general election had engaged qualified members from its states branches across the country to partake in this laudable exercise. JNI had also partnered with several sister orgnisations in order to fulfill this onerous tasks.
“Positive reports from JNI observers team and other observers will build trust in the democratic processes and will enhance the legitimacy of the governments that emerges from the elections.
“By the ethics of election monitoring and observation, Jama’atu Nasril Islam urges all her observers and other observers (domestic and international) to be honest, diligent and faithful in discharging the exercise.
“JNI calls on the INEC personnel, security agencies, media practitioners, observers and other relevant agencies concerned to keep to its duty with sincerity, by demonstrating real commitment to free, fair and credible elections,” Alhaji Khalid said.
