One can easily conclude that by "candidacy" debate Atiiku meant a debate between candidates for an election without the incumbent which in this case is the sitting President.

While this may sound "politically correct" (depending on your point of view), this is an awkward development in our polity and needs to be condemned.

Nigerians were simply denied the opportunity of weighing the options they have in the coming elections in the most convenient manner.

Before we forget (1)


INEC needs to make public the number of PVCs collected across polling units, LGAs and States. It is not enough to know the number of registered voters across the country.
...

This is critical to the integrity and credibility of the elections.

INEC needs to clarify grey areas in the Electoral Guidelines as regards the efficacy of the Card Reader devices concerning whether persons with PVCs, acquired (or stolen) through fraudulent means, can be allowed to vote regardless of their voting unit of issuance and the presence (or otherwise) of their names in the Voters Register.

...

This is important considering news of a wave of purchase of PVCs across the country

INEC needs to make public the number and locations of the so-called Voting Point Settlements. Political parties and electorates need this information so as to monitor activities there.

...

Without proper information, these Voting Point Settlements can conveniently become rigging centers.

Before we forget (4)

INEC needs to clarify the issue of the planned simultaneous Accreditation and Voting in the 2019 Elections. What this means is that if any irregularities take place in the Accreditation and Voting process, and a party over-powers the others, any result can be announced with no one having any information about the total number of persons who were accredited for the elections since that information was never known by anyone before the distraction happened.

...

if not addressed, this can be a recipe for manipulation.

Before we forget (5)

INEC needs to come clean and make public its response to the myriad of issues that opposition political parties have raised in the past few days since the Interim Electoral Guidelines were made public.

…
An open dialogue needs to happen in the coming days to address these issue.
