According to Frank, activities of the security agencies, especially the Nigeria Police Force should also be closely monitored during the elections.<\/p>\n

In a statement he signed on Friday, Frank, who commended the governments of UK and US for their plans to place a ban on anybody found guilty of rigging or causing violence during the elections also called on other nations of the world to toe the path of the duo so as to totally reject<\/p>\n

Frank described the development as a good move, adding that \u201csome politicians and their families have always consider such countries as save heavens after robbing the voters not only their votes but their lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

Frank said that the coming elections can only be rigged if the President, INEC chairman and security agents allow it.<\/p>\n

He also said that INEC boss has clearly displayed his partisanship by the appointment of Amina Zakari, who is a relative to the presidential candidate of APC, as INEC\u2019s head of Collation.<\/p>\n
