The senator representing Kaduna Central in the Senate, Shehu Sani, says mobile phones and social media will serve as tools to checkmate electoral malpractice in the forthcoming elections.
The lawmaker, who said this on Wednesday via his official Twitter handle, noted that this way would expose acts of intimidation and violence against voters.
Sani said: “In this elections, the phone and the Social media will be the citizens’ major potent tools to be used to monitor the elections, protect their votes and expose acts of intimidation, inducements or violence against voters”.
In a similar vein, Sani has raised concerns that President Muhammadu Buhari’s statements on what will befall ‘snatchers of ballot boxes’ can encourage lawless persons to engage in jungle justice.
The lawmaker said those who snatch ballot boxes should rather be arrested and prosecuted to avoid jungle justice.
In a post on his Twitter page, the lawmaker said: “Those who attempt to snatch or snatched Ballot Boxes should be arrested and brought to book; this is a better expression to avoid jungle justice or Licence for the disorder by thugs who may take the law into their hands.
