INEC Incurably Partisanship Under Buhari-Fayose by Nnabugwu8590: 11:10am On Apr 08, 2016
As the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) Chairman, Professor
Mahmood Yakubu, canvassed for the
setting up of Election Offences Tribunal in
the country, Governor Ayodele Fayose has
declared that the commission’s alleged
engagement in partisan interest is
responsible for the orgy of violence marring
the conduct of polls in recent time.
Fayose urged the Yakubu to first purge the
electoral commission under him of
partisanship and election manipulations
before seeking the establishment of
Electoral Offences Tribunal, saying; “INEC
under the present dispensation is the
number one electoral offender and that
electoral reform without INEC neutrality is a
mirage.”
He said any Electoral Offences Tribunal
established under this present dispensation
would only be used against opposition
parties as the Department of States Services
(DSS), police, armed forces and other
agencies of the federal government were
used during the Bayelsa and Rivers States
elections.
The Special Assistant on Public
Communications, Lere Olayinka quoted the
governor as saying that; “Even though
establishment of Electoral Offences Tribunal
is not entirely a bad idea, but INEC as
presently constituted does not encourage
free, fair and violence free election and it
should worry Yakubu that INEC as at today,
is being referred to as Inconclusive National
Electoral Commission because of the
commission’s partisanship.”
The governor, who described electoral
violence as a product of electoral injustice,
said even President Buhari himself admitted
his failure to conduct any free, fair and
credible election since hem assumed office.
He said: “During the Rivers State rerun
elections that INEC has been unable to
conclude, Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
was missing on result sheets of over 230
polling units and up till now, all what INEC
has been able to tell Nigerians was that the
criminal omission of PDP in the result sheets
was due to printers error. Was that not
enough to cause violence?”
While blaming President Buhari for eroding
INEC independence, Fayose said: “The day
President Buhari interfered with the
internal administration of INEC by
appointing Mrs Amina Zakari, a National
Commissioner, as acting Chairperson of the
commission, a title and position unknown
to the constitution, INEC under the Buhari’s
APC government lost its independence and
its credibility was eroded.
“The reality that INEC itself must therefore
face is that members of President Buhari’s
party, APC have become so emboldened to
unleash violence on Nigerians during
elections because they know that the
president won’t lift a finger provided his
party members are the ones perpetrating
evil.
“INEC must therefore seek to regain its lost
independence and credibility before talking
about punishing electoral offenders
because as it is now, INEC is the number
one electoral offender and promoter of
electoral violence.” https://www.today.ng/politics/103434/inec-incurably-partisanship-under-buhari-fayose

Buhari's administration would soon become inconclusive like his previous administration in 1984.
