A coalition of Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) coordinated by the Global Network for Youth Empowerment and Equal Justice (GNYEEJ), has charged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to explain to Nigerians why the Biometric Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) developed faults during the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly elections.
The CSOs also said that the electoral umpire has to justify the sum of N400 billion spent for the conduct of the just concluded general elections.
These were some of the resolutions contained in a communique issued after a post-election retreat coalition of the CSOs led by Chief Chris Okike.
In the communique made available to journalists in Abuja by the Executive Director of GNYEEJ, the coalition resolved “That INEC, as an Institution managing the electoral system, should explain to Nigerians why the BVASs developed many faults.
“INEC should explain why the results were not uploaded to the IREV.
“That INEC should also use her office to prosecute the electoral offenders.
