A Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Chief Mike Ozekhome, has described the just released report on the last presidential and National Assembly elections by the EU Observer Group, The International Republican Institute and the National Democratic Institute, as a damning case of deep-seated corruption in Nigeria.

Ozekhome, who said he was embarrassed to be a Nigerian, alleged that corruption has not only eaten deep into just the electoral process, but also into the entire moral fabric of the society.

“Cancerous and leprous corruption, especially within government circles and among those opportunistic few who control the levers of power and means of production and distribution of scarce national resources, has completely eroded our national ethos and cherished moral values and elevated mediocrity and hypocrisy to high heavens.”

The human rights activist said the electoral process has been horrifically bastardised, monetised, militarised and privatised by the rulers, elite and their prostituting collaborators and allies, both local and international, who see politics as a full time profession and a ‘do-or-die’ and ‘winners-take-all’ occupation.

“The 2019 elections were probably the worst in the electoral history of Nigeria, killing more people and causing more incalculable casualties than any election in Nigerian history,” he claimed.

He alleged that aside the uncontrolled and uncontrollable activities of the Boko Haram insurgents and rampaging herdsmen and the genocidal killings recorded during the three-year Nigerian-Biafran civil war progrom, no event has recorded more mindless cold-blooded killings on Nigeria as did the last elections.

“The Nigerian Situation Room, leading local election observers and monitoring groups, also passed the same damning verdict over the last presidential election that suffered acute lack of integrity, transparency, credibility fairness, freedom and acceptability. The incumbent government was so desperate to win at all costs since it had no credible or viable record of performance to rely on that it threw caution to the wind and militarised the entire elections to its advantage.”

2019 election is a sham,but so is 2015. That of 2015 only seems to be credible,because the incumbent accepted defeat. Or do people think Nigerians has forgotton what happened in Kano,Lagos,Rivers,Akwa-Ibom. Jonathan let go doesn't mean the election was credible.

Even all these "We don't have server".
Tomorrow, "we have a server but we didn't use it".
Its a pismal dismal.

Its a shame. Going backwards instead of making progress.
That's reason majority of the youth are fleeing abroad

Pdp's lawyer... Not surprised

One of the Most Corrupt SAN in History

One of the Most Corrupt SAN in History

Oga he humiliates ur principals in the court room

I guess Festus Kenyamo Otobo is your saint Michel

Obviously upset that PDP (Atiku) lost the election.

Being a Nigerian is abysmally frustrating in this so called next level

Story! 2003, 2007 and 2011 elections were worse but of course he wasn't ashamed then because the party he was loyal to won. Mike Ozekhome is partisan, just like Keyamo is, I just wish they both could stop trying to speak on Nigeria's issues with a neutral mien.

I am very sure the court will do the right thing and restore the mandate of Atiku

These PDP people sef!

When you steal from a thief, it is often very difficult for them to accept it. E dey pain am well well..

All the time I just sit and imagine to myself how a PDP member or anything that supports PDP could cry about rigging.

And i am like, una see how e dey pain now abi?

why this hypocrite is talking like a saint. The report indicted almost all the politicians in all the major parties, included Atiku your principal. Just stop the crocodile tears! The reports indeed commended the INEC for the high performance despite the corrupts practices of the politicians.

Someone else should be talking not Mike Ozekhome. When his right hand man conducted the worst election known to man in 2011, everything was fine despite international observers reservations.

His complaining because he no longer has access to the national cake

Nigeria is a sham even!

The country is a wack, nothing can never ever work, maybe we should try a regional government maybe things can change, but if it doesn't then we should go our separate ways,we think maybe hausas and fulanis are a fool yet they have infiltrate every section, they have hijacked power away from us,before I don't want Nigeria to disintegrate but now I want yorubas to have their own country, the issue of this country is getting out of hands,sde what we have reduced to as a country around the world,ordinary Togo are chasing Nigerians out of their country, it's finished for this country, the only things we know is to carry Bible and Quran up and down,I wanted to come to Nigeria by December , but I don't think i will never ever set my foot there again with wat am seeing .... Nonsense

it was chaotic, as a PO in the north, they tormented we the corpers there with irregularities and what have you..

just look at this lawyer of corruption talking... hypocrites

he is one of the beneficiaries of corrupt system

Nothing concern Buhari...

The retarded brainwashed ipob Biafuro monkey is ashamed to be a Nigerian? Well, you are not a Nigerian, you are a citizen of Biafuro.
The level of hypocrisy in Nigeria is staggering, the election of 2019 is not different from all the other elections that I have participated in Nigeria. In 2015 , Jonathan was dashing out money like water, there was so much violence in Rivers that so many had their heads chopped off. Even in Lagos OPC was working for Jona-daft by using violence to on Ikorodu road and other places. I was at the polling booth were pdp was buying votes in the open. Nothing happened in 2019 that did not happen in 2015 except that pdp lost again when they thought they could out rigged the Apc.

but Buhari won ,do u think Buhari will lose then if he was Jonathan?we she continue in our support oooo.

I can feel his pain, only God knows how much contract money that would have enter his account or even AGF appointment under PDP govt. if you that's well to do is embarrassed to be a Nigerian, what about we the common Nigerians?


I'm more embarrassed that I was created on earth to be a Nigerian, to make the matter worse my parent no japa when their friends left in the 80's. Nigeria is a mess country
