The Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) Kano chapter has petitioned the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to investigate Mrs. Hauwa Buhari, Head of Department, Election and Party Monitoring in Kano, over the issuance of multiple inconsistent monitoring reports related to the party's primary elections.
The lawyers representing the NDC claim that the reports are materially inconsistent, undated, and list candidates who were not cleared by the party, while omitting authentic candidates. The NDC further accuses the five candidates who filed suits at the Federal High Court without proper notice to the authentic party candidates of violating fair hearing principles.
The legal team demands an immediate investigation into the circumstances surrounding the issuance of these reports, the withdrawal of the defective versions, and the issuance of a single, authentic, properly dated report reflecting the true party nominees.
