The UK High Commission disclosed this in a statement posted on its X handle on Thursday.

The Commission vowed to work with all contending political parties to ensure inclusive and credible elections.

“We look forward to working with all parties and the interns community to support inclusive & credible elections”, the post added.

A good governance Advocate, Shehu Gazali Sadiq, has threatened that there would be no election in the northern part of the country if the African Democratic Congress, ADC is not on the ballot.

In a post on his verified X handle, Sadiq declared that the safety of any northerner, who comes out to vote may not be guaranteed.

He wrote, “If ADC is not on the ballot, there will be no election in Northern Nigeria.

“If you come out to vote, whatever you see accept it. This is both a threat and a warning”.

The post which generated over one thousand shares and 90 thousand reach, attracted party supporters, who yielded to the warning.

This is coming a few hours before the Supreme Court rules on the leadership crisis threatening ADC’s chances of participating in the coming election.
