The British Government has revealed the role it would play during the
governorship election in Ekiti come this weekend.

The British High Commission to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright, who spoke with
newsmen yesterday with regard to the poll, reiterated the interest of
the British Government in Nigeria's democracy.

Arkwright said the Commission would be sending its observers to
monitor the election.

He said, "The British High Commission will be sending a team there to
observe the election and to ensure that they go smoothly.

"To ensure that INEC can do its job, that the security forces do their
job and basically, to ensure that the people of Ekiti State are
allowed to freely express their opinion, to vote along with their
conscience and to be able to do so in a peaceful manner."
