Bayelsa poll fell below expectation, can’t pass credibility test – TMG

The Transition Monitoring Group on Tuesday expressed concern over the conduct of the Bayelsa State governorship election.

The TMG said it fell below expectation and cannot pass credibility test.

The organisation, which deployed 300 observers, said security agencies disappointed Nigerians because they refused to act despite earlier warnings before the governorship elections in Kogi and Bayelsa States regarding flash points.

Some of the warnings were said to have been issued as early as three months ago.

The Chairman of TMG, Ibrahim Zikirulkahi, conveyed the group’s position in a preliminary statement read to journalists on Tuesday evening in Abuja.
