The African Democratic Congress (ADC) has strongly condemned the movement of the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, around various polling units in Abuja under the guise of “monitoring.”
The Party on its social media platform said, “Wike’s “monitoring” exercise, after unilaterally imposing a curfew on potential voters, represents direct interference in the election”.
It added that the Minister is not a registered voter in the FCT, and as a known partisan and cabinet minister, Wike has no constitutional role in the election exercise.
The party claimed Wike’s presence during active voting is therefore not only vexatious and meddlesome, but also risks intimidating voters and officials.
In a similar vein, the ADC said it has received reports of voter suppression and intimidation in parts of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja including alleged collaboration between the APC agents and some security personnel.
The Party said, “We also note disruptions to the INEC Result Viewing Portal (IReV), which has remained inaccessible even as results are being collated. 
We find this a curious coincidence and call on INEC to urgently restore full IReV functionality, with a clear public explanation of the disruption.
“We urge all our party agents and voters to remain calm but vigilant, and to document all incidents”, the Party concluded.
