In society not like ours, this INEC has conducted the worse elections in Nigeria recent democratic history. They need these celebrities to do the dirty jobs of defending rigged elections

TRADERMONI + PEOPLEMONI = VOTERBUYING.

INEC boss I hope this your regime would not be the worse? I always hope tomorrow would be better than today.
