A Legal Practitioner and observer during the 2015 elections, Ikechukwu Ikeji, says the just concluded election was one of the most rigged elections he had ever witnessed in Nigeria, despite being considered free and fair.



Speaking on a breakfast show, Sunrise Daily on Channels Television on Monday, Mr Ikeji accused INEC officials of being compromised, stressing further that the politicians themselves were out to rig and those who won simply outwitted those who lost.

“Just about every politicians I came across was in the game of rigging. Nothing can be farther from the truth than that these elections were fair and free.

“In fact I have to be honest, this is one of the most rigged elections I have witnessed. I was in the field and I can tell you that electoral offences were rampant,” Mr Ikeji said.

On card readers, the election observer expressed dissatisfaction. He said that the card readers did not work in many areas he went to.

He said that they (the electorate) had agreed not to use the card readers, revealing that he clearly saw people coming back to vote twice while some voted three times in both national and state elections.

He added also that some polling units were dominated by some political parties, as they were able to buy the minds of voters and the electoral officials.

Mr Ikeji also said that all materials for the election should have been present at the commencement of the voting, including the result sheets, which various political party agents should verify.

He also indicted some election observers saying many of them were compromised and carried out their duties with bias.

He reacted to the statement by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) that it had commenced the compilation of all electoral offences recorded in the 2015 general elections with a view to prosecuting those found wanting.

The legal practitioner said that it was a good statement by INEC that they would prosecute electoral offenders, but noted that the solution does not just lie in advocacy, pronouncement or trying to put technology in place to obviate the need for politicians to rig.

He advised that the attraction in elective and political public positions be reduced to discourage politicians wanting to get to position by all means.

A re-elected member of the Lagos State House of
Assembly, Mr Bisi Yussuf, on Wednesday urged the
in-coming administration at the federal level to
create a ministry for Lagos affairs. Addressing
scores of supporters at his constituency office in
Ipaja-Ayobo Local Council Development Area, the
legislator said that it would facilitate rapid
upgrading of infrastructural facilities in the
nation’s commercial capital.

Yussuf (Alimosho I), of the All Progressives
Congress (APC), said that Lagos should be
accorded the rightful federal revenue allocation
befitting its status as the nation’s commercial
capital.
“There is nowhere in the world that a national
commercial capital suffers the type of neglect
which Lagos has experienced in the hands of the
federal government since it moved the national
capital to Abuja in 1992,” Yusuf said.
He noted that seaport operations and massive
haulage business put a lot of pressure on Lagos
roads, and a dedicated Ministry for Lagos Affairs
would help arrest the decay of its social
infrastructure. Yusuf said such ministry would
also help Lagos to meet its rail and road network
requirements as one of the world’s most densely
populated cities.
“A city of more than 20 million people cannot be
adequately serviced by state government finance
alone,’’ he said, adding that the state’s revenue
contributions to the federal coffers needed
adequate reciprocation. The APC won the 2015
general elections at the presidential level and
also that of governorship in Lagos State, which
will see the party controlling both levels from May
29.

Yussuf commended his constituents for their
support, which he said, guaranteed his re-
election, promising to improve on his legislative
responsibilities. He said that the voting strength
of Alimosho remained the bastion of APC support
base in Lagos and stressed the need for greater
cohesion among the party members and
supporters.

The legislator also acknowledged the political
leadership of APC National Leader, Sen. Bola
Tinubu, whom he described as “a veritable study
in political strategies and national alignment”. He
assured the supporters that the state’s
governor-elect, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, would
improve on the performance of out-going Gov.
Babatunde Fashola who built on the foundation
built by Tinubu.

Yusuf, in an interview with newsmen, said that
the next Assembly would build on the
achievements of the present one to boost
development in the state. “The 8th assembly will
embark on more qualitative legislation which will
foster more development to various communities
within the state in terms of job creation and
human development,’’ he said.
