THE Coalition of Democrats for Electoral Reform (CODER) yesterday urged voters to exercise their civic rights on election days and defend their votes.
The group called for vigilance among Nigerians, stressing that enemies of democracy may want to subvert the electoral process.
Its convener, Mr. Ayo Oladokun, said in a statement that there can only be victory for Nigerians when losers concede victory to winners in a free and fair exercise.
Hailing the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for insisting on the use of the Card Reader to authenticate the genuineness or otherwise of the prospective voter, he described it as a legacy worthy of commendation.
Opadokun urged domestic and foreign observers to monitor the processes up to the collation centres, adding that results are usually hijacked and manipulated at the centres.
He advised party agents and voters to insist on the collation and announcement of results without break or adjournment.
