serving political service holders when there

are weighty allegations of corruption with

unshakable evidence - please reform the

police and let States handle their own police

and electoral commission which should be

elected by the people of each state —

Strengthen the institutions by making it

impossible for presidents to appoint

people to serve in certain sensitive

institutions like Judiciary- INEC, Police iG

and make voting process devoid of human

contact - so we can all vote like we are using

our ATM cards slot it into a machine - put our

PIN codes - cast our votes and go home while

the system records it in real time and publish

to the world —-//// please this is the ONLY

way forward - i know you dan do it all in

4 years and 99.999% of Nigerians will

support you and you will be greater than

Azikiwe - Awolowo and Ahmadu Bello

combined because we are fighting for

independence from state capture. by
