"It is for this reason that we must take this matter very seriously and ensure that justice is served and seen to be served.
"We call upon the president, INEC chairman and the commission's executives with all leaders, both political and non-political, to put aside their personal interests and work together to find a solution to this problem.
"The people of this nation deserve better than what they have been given at the moment. They deserve a government that is truly representative of their wishes and desires; let whoever wins win fairly, credibly and justiceable."
