It has been many months since ex-President Goodluck Jonathan set a new tone for democracy and election in Nigeria and Africa by refusing the age-long penchant by African leaders to manipulate the electoral system to perpetuate themselves in power. Hate him or like him, you just have to give it to him that he scored the bull’s eye in bequeathing a far better electoral system than he inherited.

Under Jonathan’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government, the INEC was given full political, administrative, and financial autonomy, which made success recorded by Prof. Attahiru Jega’s success possible. For example, while his predecessors went on their knees to beg the Federal Government (FG) for funds, Jega’s INEC received by far more money and through first line charge than the predecessors.

Beyond laws, Jonathan’s body language helped greatly in reshaping the nation’s elections history. For instance, while no law forbade him from appointing a fellow Ijaw man an INEC Chairman, he appointed Prof. Jega, a Fulani from Kebbi State.

He was always the first to issue statements congratulating the opposition parties each time they won governorship elections, even if the State PDP was kicking. While the opposition threatened that the dog and baboon would soak in blood, Jonathan’s sing-song was that his ambition was not worth the blood of any Nigerian. And when Nigeria’s fate hung in the balance after the 2015 election, he showed statesmanship and courage by calling to congratulate Muhammadu Buhari. He did not even bother going to the tribunal, although he had good grounds to. He was apparently more concerned with Nigerians reuniting to move forward and in causing no distractions for his successor.

Unfortunately, all these worthy legacies are petering away before the eyes of Nigerians, with impunity, fumbling, and inconclusiveness taking centre stage.

First, the departing INEC Chairman handed over to his next in hierarchy, Mohammed Wali ,in acting capacity, but the presidency led by Buhari overruled him. In his stead was appointed Amina Zakari, an alleged relation of President Muhammadu Buhari, who also worked very closely with him at the Petroleum Trust Fund and also with Governor of Kaduna State, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai. Even when her tenure as a Commissioner at INEC expired, she continued to hold sway as Acting INEC chairperson under no known law and an arrangement that sent legal luminaries pondering.

Next, security agencies got directly involved in electoral petitions for the first time since 1999. They invaded INEC offices, arresting, interrogating and intimidating INEC officials and PDP witnesses at will. Chairman of Rivers Governorship Election Panel was changed. Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Taraba tribunals were also relocated to Abuja for so-called ‘security’ reasons.

The DSS has carried on so obnoxiously under this regime that it has been nicknamed Daura Secret Service on the social media. President Buhari and the Director-General of DSS, a former member of the APC Presidential Campaign Team, both hail from Daura.

In another show of impunity and disregard for rule of law (Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution provides for 12 Commissioners and a Chairman), President Buhari refused to constitute INEC board until November 2015. Even when he eventually did, he ensured it was inconclusive as he appointed only six.

Buhari is the first Nigerian president to appoint someone of his ethnic extraction as INEC Chairman. Could he and his other opposition leaders have accepted it if Jonathan had appointed an Ijaw as INEC Chairman?

After all these odious manifestations from APC, I don't foresee them staying up to uninterrupted 16yrs of power like PDP attained.

As for the Zombies, lets hope that their numbers continue to decimate by repenting from their folly, so that the irredeemable ones wouldn't be able vote in this detestable APC govt again with their mitigated numbers.

So because of election, students should spend another year at home? Election was fixed the same day Mathematics exam is to be held. But the devilish PDP don't care cos they want to grab power. May your plans never materialize in Edo state. We have seen how well APC has contributed to developing Education in Edo state and we believe strongly that APC will continue to do more as Oshiomole has laid the foundation. Edo people kindly vote for APC.

PDP ruled before and today they have nothing to show as their achievement in the state. 8 years was wasted. They literally turned Edo state into an Ancient city in ruins. But today, if you visit Edo state, you will see the difference. Continuity of APC in Edo is our best bet towards securing the future of the state.

We don't want PDP to come and start distributing state money to Tony Anenih and other private pockets.

wise men like us decided to chill in peace and watch pdp supporters paste meaningless pictures and comments here,The think they are the majority

Many persons making noise here are not edolites,they have obviously been hearing the lies running around about our comrade governor and how he wants to impose Obaseki on the state, hence their revolutionary comments.U need to come to Edo state and witness the first hand development that has taken place, compared to previous administrations. Edolites are now wise and are firmly aware that pdp has nothing to offer to the people except enriching themselves and a few elites. Edo state will not step from grace to grass. Vote wisely.

Funny thing about some Nigerians is dat they kip ranting and judging APC when they never knew how this state was under the PDP stewardship..they just feel like punishing Apc because of the present economic situation of the Nation knowing fully well that POI isn't a genuine person,actually..no politician is truthful but I'd go for a lesser evil which is GO..judging individually,Godwin Obaseki is by far a better candidate than Ize Iyamu...Ize iyamu has always been in the news for the wrong reasons..the man is suppose to focus on his church and not politics...he is just as fake as those he kips criticising....I laugh when I see pple shouting PDP,cos most of these persons are not going to vote on that day...they just kip ranting here....and when APC wins @ the end of the day,they say that it was rigged...smh..they should come see the works of the Oshiomole's led administration..how better Edo state is,cos if they really know the situation we suffered back then,then they won't want to vote for PDP and even the said Ize iyamu was part of the govt that nearly grounded Edo state.....I'm not a fan of Apc,but I'm a fan of the truth...its painful the election will be rigged but then,I pray the best candidate wins....and to me,the best is Godwin Obaseki

I'm still wondering where this Pdp vote would come from
to win this election.
some of you really don't know the political scales In Edo in recent time.
for instance, Oredo ikpobaokha, Egor are massively for the apc.
talk about the Afemai( Auchi and the rest) is a no go area for the Pdp,
Shuaibu is from that very region.
the only part of Edo of which the Pdp has some ground is the Esan land,
and current speaker of the state house of assembly is from Esan(Apc).
let me tell you what most of you don't know..
anyone that can win in Afemai land and Benin is the man cus of it populace.

Godwin and ize are both from Benin and they both own the land.

so to me some of you are just sitting at the comfort of your state and be saying what you don't know.
so forget all these online nonsense about Pdp winning this poll.
that's not going to happen.
