Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Transition Monitoring Group (TMG) has berated the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for altering the dates for 2023 election activities.<\/p>\n

The deadline for the conduct of primary elections and submission of nominated candidates was on Friday moved from the 4th to 9th of June.<\/p>\n

A statement by TMG chairman, Auwal Musa Rafsanjani noted that the extension was disturbing.<\/p>\n

He said at a time when Nigerians are beginning to have confidence in the electoral umpire, powerful forces are pressurizing it to do their biddings.<\/p>\n

The activist observed that a number of political platforms have made efforts to conduct their primaries.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the ruling party is still uncertain about the day to conduct its presidential primary election, that shouldn\u2019t be the basis for the extension.\u201d<\/p>\n

TMG also condemned the cases of vote-buying at party primaries across the country.<\/p>\n

Rafsanjani told delegates that they don\u2019t have to go to the extent of mortgaging Nigeria\u2019s future for money.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey should think of Nigeria first before other considerations. The influence of money in an election has far-reaching implications.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement added that politicians who spend to be voted for will work towards recouping the funds eventually.<\/p>\n
