Wrong is wrong. It doesn't have to be about tribe or section.

This is really nice.

I recommend that they also take their search light to places like Kano, Nasarawa, Bayelsa, Bornu and most recently Osun state where vote buying and all forms of electoral malpractice are rampant.

Ipob... @What they can do better

All rigging plans fashioned by apc to truncate the will of Nigerians shall fail

And Prof.Mamud Yakubu kept making press conference to give the electorate false assurance it going to conduct a credible election? Imagine how many of this have happened before now.

As you said. But why did you make you argument so one sided. You could have give all case scenario that he actually not planning to right your election.
Just don't play politics with hatred.

This is how 2015 election was rigged against one particular party in that area. The mechanism has started putting in place but this time around plan unfold.

The Prof should not be blamed please. If the INEC staff decides not to cooperate with him, he can't achieve credible election. We are the problems of Nigeria, we love money more than anything, IBOs( I Before Others) are the worst.

Sophisticated rigging plan

In my opinion, no person should be allowed to cast a vote on election day once the card reader fails to authenticate such a person. Allowing manual accreditation will allow and gives room to massive fraud.
