<\/p>\nEgwu gave the assurance at a two-day workshop in Minna on the implementation of election monitoring and support, an integrated monitoring and tracking tool for all electoral activities leading to the general elections.<\/p>\n
He said that the commission would provide a level playing field for all political parties for the conduct of transparent elections.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe commission will carefully monitor the conduct of personnel to ensure that they adhere strictly to the electoral guidelines.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have done it before, we will do it again through proper monitoring of our personnel before, during and after the implementation of all electoral processes.<\/p>\n
\u201cI urge all the electoral officers to shun all acts capable of tempering with the already built-up image and reputation of the commission.<\/p>\n
\u201cINEC is ready to collaborate with stakeholders to ensure smooth implementation of all the electoral processes,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
The commissioner appealed to politicians, especially those seeking elective positions to always preach the principles of political tolerance and understanding.<\/p>\n
He said that the tasks ahead was for politicians to embark on aggressive sensitisation of their followers not to see elections as a `do-or-die\u2019 affair.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen that is done, it will end political violence and thuggery and give us a peaceful atmosphere for the smooth implementation of all electoral processes,\u2019\u2019 he said.<\/p>\n
