 In the meantime, a non-governmental organization known as Electoral Hub in collaboration with Open Society Foundation, OSF, and Initiative for the Research, Innovation and Advocacy in Development, IRISE, has, on Tuesday, advocated for the right of citizens in electoral matters. The director, Princess Haman Obels, made this call during a roundtable and public presentation of three research policy papers on the impact of insecurity on elections in Abuja. She stated that the objective of this roundtable includes to launch the publicized or the published policy papers which analyzes the security situation in the country and its adverse impacts on the election, map the security challenges in different parts of the country, and how they affect the INEC preparations and public safety during and after the elections. I just bring people together to discuss the important issue of electoral violence and insecurity. Like you've heard since you've been here that electoral violence and insecurity affects the integrity of an electoral process as it impacts on voters' ability to participate effectively in the process and also impacts on INEC's ability to effectively deliver elections, and it also impacts on every different aspect of the electoral process to be able to work together in synergy and to deliver integrity at the end of the day. The Chairman House Committee on Electoral Matters, Honourable Adib by Oba Logu, while addressing the press on this matter, said that the legislative is making every effort to put an end to election violence and they have proposed a bill for it. The former independent Electoral Commission, INEC Professor Atahiro Jega, also expressed concern over the matter, adding that INEC hands are on deck. We are pushing up a bill for the establishment of the Electoral Offences Commission and Tribunal. That will not be able to focus on issues that are going to do violence and vote buying and many other processes that during the election, during, before or after the election, but that can influence the election. So we are working on that bill. So that is very important because we believe that INEC is overbodied with so much responsibility. I know that INEC has been doing its best, but for many citizens it would appear as if their best is not good enough. So what they need to do is to keep on trying and doing their best to be more inclusive to develop capacity for strategic communication and to really work extra hard in order to gain trust and confidence from the public.
