The Government
of Britain deploys over
60 observers in 15 states across Nigeria for the general elections.
The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Catriona Liang, said
this in a video that was shared on Friday while encouraging all Nigerians ahead of the elections to go out and vote on Saturday.
She said despite the disappointment after the elections were
postponed last week, Nigerians should not be discouraged to go all out and
exercise their franchise through the ballot box by voting massively.
She rightly said that:
“Tomorrow is polling day
again; we recognize 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.
“And, of course, it is very important that INEC remains as the
impartial umpire for this election.
“So please do go out and exercise your democratic right to vote.
We wish all Nigerians all the very best for the election day”.
