The coalition highlighted that independent, international observation plays a vital role in supporting institutional transparency, reinforcing civic confidence, and encouraging a peaceful voting environment across all 30 Local Government Areas (LGAs).
"We encourage the international community-including the European Union, ECOWAS, the African Union, and diplomatic missions in Nigeria-to maintain active field engagement throughout election week," said Shola Olubiyi, media relations lead for the Coalition for Democratic Integrity and Civic Rights. "International observation provides valuable support to election administrators, security agencies, and voters by fostering an open, orderly, and highly credible democratic process."
Key Priorities for International and Domestic Monitoring
The CDICR outlined three primary areas where active engagement from international observers and domestic agencies can support optimal election delivery:
Baseline Pre-Election Survey Indicators
In its accompanying Pre-Election Assessment Report, the CDICR compiled field survey data reflecting voter readiness across the state:
High Documentation: Permanent Voter Card (PVC) distribution reached approximately 96 percent statewide prior to the campaign close.
Civic Intent: Over 90 percent of sampled respondents indicated an intent to participate on election day.
Digital Transmission Trust: 75 percent of surveyed voters expressed confidence in electronic result transmission via the IReV portal.
Public Feedback: Field preference indicators in the report note positive public feedback regarding state infrastructure and social service delivery programs.
