Say controversy over server unnecessaryFriday Olokor, AbujaAbout 60 presidential candidates in the 2019 general elections have faulted the Peoples Democratic Party and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar over the controversy surrounding the use of a server, describing it as unnecessary. They also criticised the report of European Union Election Observer Mission which alleged a lack of transparency in the guidelines of election. The parties under the aegis of Joint Forum of 60 Presidential Candidates and National Chairmen, at a press conference addressed by Alhaji Mohammed Shittu, said the Independent National Electoral Commission did creditably well. It is a plot to discredit the election as political parties never agreed with INEC in any of the several pre-election meetings that results will be transmitted electronically. How then can the EU-EOM accuse the commission of a lack of transparency in putting up guidelines for the elections?
