A civil society activist and the president of Rights Monitoring Group (RMG), a coalition of 45 civil society groups, Comrade Olufemi Aduwo has said that the reason the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) is giving for registering under age persons in the northern parts of the country is very shameful.

Recall that the Director of Publicity and Voter Education of INEC, Mr Olouwole Osaze-Uzzi had said during a programme on the African Independent Television, titled Kakaaki that the reason the registration officers were registering under age persons was because their lives were been threatened by some members of the communities. According to Aduwo, by such admission, it means that INEC has succumbed to blackmail and intimidation and thereby put the integrity of the 2019 general election into question.

He said what it means is that 2019 general election would no longer be free, fair and credible since the would be umpire has giving in to intimidation. According to him, INEC has nothing else to tell Nigerians about free and fair election since they have shown that might is right. He said that under age registration is the only reason why the north is feeling that it is them that decides any national election in the country.

According to him, when it comes to the south, INEC would stick to international best practices but in the north, they throw standard to the winds and allow the leaders to decide what happens. The Civil Society activist called on the United Nations to take special interest on the role INEC is playing because 2019 would be very crucial to Nigeria in particular and Africa in general.

"I am short of words. How would you begin to respond when you hear that the Director of Publicity and Voter Education of INEC had admitted on a national television that the reason why they are registering under age person in the northern parts of the country is because the lives of their officers are being threatened by some members of the communities.

Do you know the implication of that? It simply means that impunity is now reigning in the country. Might is now right .This has put a serious question mark on the integrity of next year's election. The umpire has admitted that he has compromised, so how can you trust the outcome of an already prejudiced contest. The only thing that I can say is that the international community should come in and save the country from going into blazes come 2019.” Aduwo said

It's beyond shameful. It's self indictment on the part of INEC.

Free and fair elections is being been traded on the alter of compromise,impunity and illegality but sincere Nigerians must kick against such fraud.

No country can aspire to greatness in the midst of injustices and flawed systems.

Nigeria is A Fraud

The most shameful thing is that they all cry about the so called Ekitigate

It's easy to say that one cow in aso rock can quickly threaten inec into announcing the election results in his Favour

INEC has just told us that we will never have free as fair elections again in this country. If they can be threatened to register under aged voters, then they can be threatened to declare anybody as winner.

Or we learn this threat thing like say e go work ..

Abi na like this we go dey for south.. all mouth no actions ..abi North get two head..

Do me I do you God no go vex..


Make we play the aboki style do..inec officials go hear am..
My goats must register and vote otherwise we go flog any official wey refuse till e bleed from his prick..

When the president himself is not credible and also not confident of winning a free, fair and credible election and INEC has lost it credibility that Goodluck Worked tireless to bestow.. What will u expect again? A credible election again, not when The Dullard from Daura is in power. My fellow Nigerians we have to stand firm and defend our votes
