Governor Ayodele Fayose of Ekit State has expressed worry over inability of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct credible and conclusive elections since the advent of the President Muhammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress (APC) government.

The governor, who reacted to the alleged manipulation of the Imo North Senatorial election, which was declared inconclusive, said “democracy in Nigeria is being threatened by INEC and this should call for national and international reflection.”

Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, Lere Olayinka quoted the governor as saying that, “If we have done more than 15 elections since President Buhari assumed office and all ended inconclusive, it is obvious that we are tending towards anarchy.

“It is becoming very clear that votes of Nigerians are no longer allowed to count under this APC government and one wonders if President Buhari would have been elected if the system then did not allow free and fair elections.” Governor Fayose said Nigerians should be more concerned with institutionalising democracy than the issue of who wins election, adding that, “The only duty the APC government owes Nigerians is to allow for a system that will make them to be able to elect their leaders freely.

“This system was created and allowed to flourish by the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government. The APC, which is obviously desperate to hijack power at all levels through open manipulation of the electoral process must know that preventing people’s votes from counting is a clear invitation to anarchy.

“As it is, APC stalwarts are using security agents 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 electoral evil.”

The governor said the INEC Chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu should be worried about the image of the electoral commission under him. While urging INEC to be mindful of its importance to the sustenance of democracy in Nigeria, Governor Fayose said the electoral body must maintain its independence and impartiality at all times. “Nigeria was already getting that important aspect of democracy, which is election right before the advent of this APC government and the government, especially INEC should be mindful of what history will present concerning them,” said Fayose.

I laugh....... Like someone argued on this forum and reproduce verbatim

The advent of inconclusive election is a result of our elections getting better and tighter. The electoral act says that once the difference btw the winner and the runner up is lower than the number of persons yet to vote. Those from polling units yet to cast their vote must be giving the opportunity to do so. How is it PMB' fault? Formally we all know that the PDP held sway and wrote results as they seam fit. Now with APC the electoral contest btw this two power blocks is tighter hence the inconclusive outcome of the elections. So it's a good thing if you decide to see it so. Otherwise you are free to keep blaming Buhari as if he wrote the electoral act.

This guy is just one problematic mofo.

Same thing you did during the election that brought you to power

Buhari himself is a major threat to Nigeria's democracy.

Wailer spotted.... This is just the beginning

We know so much of rigging has happened during the elections. What do we do now? We have to play the role of a responsible citizen.
You must speak up when you see some wrong happening. The second thing is that there are good people in every party. Don’t say all good people are in one party and all bad people are in the other. It is not the party, but the people that matter. If they are criminals and are doing wrong, they should not be given a ticket. So don’t think one party is better it is people who make a difference.
