votes, saying voters presence makes the process more transparent.
The Independent National Electoral Commissions' statement is contrary
to an advice by the Nigeria Police, which said voters should go home
after voting.
Addressing reporters on Friday, the chairman of the Independent
National Electoral Commission, Professor Attahiru Jega, said the
commission believed that the electoral process would be more
transparent if voters stayed behind after voting.
Professor Jega also said the commission had not received any
indication that the security for the card readers had been
compromised.
The Inspector General of Police, Suleiman Abba, on Tuesday advised
voters not to remainat the polling centers after casting their votes
on Saturday.
Mr Abba told a gathering in Abuja, in very clear terms, that the
security operatives expect everyone to vote and go.
The IGP made the pronouncement during the Independent Electoral
Commission, INEC stakeholders' meeting.
