This has been on my mind for decades. I wrote the post in 2019. This particular thread reminds me of number 4.


naptu2:
grin grin grin grin

Nigerians keep bouncing back and forth grin


1) Government limits the number of political parties to two, or, much later, government prescribes stringent conditions that political associations must adhere to before they can be registered as political parties (you must have an office in every state capital, etc.)


Nigerians: This is undemocratic and unconstitutional. You cannot limit the number of political parties. The constitution guarantees freedom of association. Government is trying to prevent people that it doesn't like from creating political parties.

Gani took INEC to court and won.

********************

So INEC registers all the political associations as political parties. We have 90 political parties and 70 presidential candidates. There are 200 more associations waiting to be registered as political parties.


Nigerians: This is a joke! How can we have so many presidential candidates? What is INEC doing? They need to deregister some of these mushroom parties! It is a deliberate ploy by the government to divide votes!





2)

Nigerians: We cannot have politicians going to the polling booths with their police and military escorts. They will intimidate voters and election officials. Their security escorts will compromise the security officials on election duty.


Inspector general of police and chief of defence staff: No uniformed security official should follow any politician to the polling unit. We shall withdraw most of the police and military guards of politicians 24 hours before the election, to ensure that politicians cannot use them to affect the conduct of the election.


Nigerians: The government has withdrawn the security guards of governor ***** because they want to attack him during the election. Hold the federal government responsible if anything happens to governor *****. How can you withdraw a whole governor's security. That tells you that they want to rig the election.





3)

Nigerians: We need to do away with moneybag politicians. Moneybag politicians destroyed our democracy in the first and second republics. They become godfathers, determine what happens in the party and the people will have no say.


Babangida: Government will provide subventions to political parties to ensure that they are not dependent on any moneybag politicians.


Nigerians: If government provides subventions to the parties, then that means that the parties are no longer independent organisations. It means that they are now arms (slaves) of the government and dependent on government and will do whatever government wants.


Nigerians: Some people go into politics solely to get government subventions and not to serve the people.

INEC: We will limit government subventions to political parties that have won at least one election.


Nigerians: That means you are supporting strong parties against weak parties.

Also Nigerians: You are wasting tax payers' money. These politicians only create political parties in order to steal government subventions.

INEC: We will stop giving subventions.

Nigerians: Parties that control federal/state governments have an advantage because they have access to government funds. Why doesn't the government help smaller parties?




4)

Nigerians Why are our elections so militarised. There are armed policemen at every polling unit. This could scare voters away. You don't have armed policemen at polling units in the US and UK.


The electoral act is amended to ban armed security agents from being within a certain distance from polling units.

Heavily armed thugs attack polling units and the policemen at the polling units can't do anything because they are unarmed.

Nigerians: The politicians did this deliberately. They posted unarmed officers to the polling units so that their thugs can easily disrupt the process.
