The corps National Commandant, Ambassador Dickson Akoh, stated this during a press briefing in Abuja assuring that the leadership of the organization has put everything in place to ensure that its officers and members participate in the assignment.
He said PCN officers have been charged to be patriotic during the discharge of their duties and to ensure that they don’t compromise their civic responsibilities for any form of gratifications.
“In addition to our commitment towards the discharge of our duties, we have made available a code of conduct document for our officers and members deployed for the election monitoring/observation exercise and they will be made to sign the code of conduct before commencement of the exercise, as the leadership of this organization will not hesitate to sanction appropriately, anyone found wanting in the act of participating or facilitating electoral malpractices directly or indirectly,” he said.
He commended the implementation strategies already mapped out by INEC to guarantee the free and fair conduct of the forthcoming elections, and urged Nigerians to support INEC by participating actively in the general elections.
“Even as we commend the preparedness of INEC and various security agencies in the country towards ensuring the conduct of peaceful election, we urge the various political parties to embrace peace and shun violence by seeing themselves as partners in progress.
