I thank in particular, Mazi Afam Osigwe, for accepting to serve as the Chairman of the Committee. The 2015 National Elections were conducted during his tenure as the General Secretary of the NBA and it is the experience and skills that he garnered at the time in monitoring those Elections, amongst other attributes, that recommend him for this assignment. 3. Almost all our colleagues that served in our Monitoring Committee for the
September 2018 have been reconstituted into this enlarged National Committee. The
Osun Monitoring Committee did the NBA very proud in all respects and we are
building on the credibility of that team and their report of that Election in carrying
out the present assignment.
4. In each State of the Federation (the Federal Capital Territory inclusive), we
have, in collaboration with the Branches in the States constituted monitoring
committees that would work with the National Monitoring Team in monitoring and
reporting on the Elections in the respective States. We thank the Branches for their
support and assistance in carrying out this national assignment and count on the
professionalism, devotion to duties and patriotic spirit of the constituted teams in
the various States.
5. The National Monitoring Team will operate mostly from Abuja but would
maintain direct and unbroken communication with the feeder teams in the various
States of the Federation. National Officers and our Secretariat personnel will also be
on hand to assist both at the State and National levels. Our members with ideas and
suggestions for the teams are welcome to pass them on either directly to the
Chairman of the National Committee or through our National Secretariat.
6. The task before the Committees is enormous but we have confidence in the
teams that we have constituted both at the national and State levels and we assure
Nigerians that the NBA will live up to its reputation for fact-based reporting, non-
partisanship, integrity and objectivity in its monitoring of the Elections, not any
different from our monitoring and reporting of the Osun Governorship Elections
which remains a Nigerian reference point in election monitoring and reporting.
