International Observers Arrive Nigeria For 2019 Election

As the 2019 general election draws closer, Not less  40 European Union (EU) observers have arrived the country for the polls.

@inecnigeria is still mute on the thousands of eligible voters that will be unable to vote due to INEC's fault. How do you explain to people that their voter's card were not printed from Abuja and yet believe you can conduct credible elections in the coming polls.
