2023 PRESIDENTIAL POLL: WHY EUROPEAN UNION REPORT  CANT BE TRUSTED – NBA PRESIDENT 

The President of the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA),Yakubu maikyau has said that the legal body remains a leading  credible election observers  in Nigeria
The senior Lawyer insisted that the 2023 Presidential Elections were credible as against the EU observers report  which  wrote off the elections..
Featuring on  “Politics Today on Channels TV , the NBA President  said that the body  is a credible and patroitic organisation that can stand by their reports which is more credible enough to stand any scrutiny.
When a question was thrown at him by Channels TV anchor Terry Ikumi on why the NBA election observers gave the election and it’s conduct a clean bill of health while the EU observers wrote off the elections…
.
Justifying his position, he said  “NBA deployed 1,000 observers across the 36 states and 774 LGA plus FCT, while EU observers had just 50 observers which some did not even leave their hotel rooms.”
He said out of the 1,000 NBA observers, 20% wrote “excellent” on their incident report forms while 62% wrote “good” on same. Adding the percentage together gives 82% of good report and conduct of INEC.
That 18% of bad report cannot override the 82% of excellent & good reports.
“That on that same incident report form, they were asked to indicate if they see any EU observers where they are monitoring, and 95% of NBA observers did not state that they met any EU observer.
He asked Terry to tell him which report should be credible – the 50 member EU observers that did not cover Nigeria or the 1,000 NBA observers that covered the whole of Nigeria and all local governments?
