Shimran:Hahaha, if it's so let it be. But I doubt it will be so. There's too much money in this country and that's a chicken change to many politicians wanting to form a party. 1 Like |

Shimran:I object to that, sir. Reason: Political parties should not, in any way, have any relationship involving the funding of INEC. That is like inviting a pedophile to spend time alone with your young daughter while you're away. It's an unnecessary and dangerous risk. Once political parties are given any avenue to fund the electoral body, it opens the door to backdoor influence, lobbying, and undue pressure. Considering the nature of Nigerian politics, politicians will always find ways to exploit such access. 1 Like |

NwaIgboBoy:Someone made a suggestion. It seems he's tried. I was asking how could INEC be independent completely. Could you please answer? |

INEC can raise funds by selling cards for online voting. Many people are afraid to come out during elections because of violence or they are simply in another city. Some will buy online voting scratch cards at up to 10k per card or more if put on sale 1 Like |

OnionBandit:Very true. I think citizens should contribute and the chairman's appointment should be probably rotational among university VC by open selection in a box where it's rolled and picked at random to announce the next chairman. The University that's picked will not be on the next selection circle. Where quarrel go day na where your person no win, you no go wan contribute again. It can be made civic duty like stamp duty. This one ho be Inec duty. 1 Like 1 Share |

Shimran:Short answer: INEC is already independent enough, where their funding comes from doesn't qualify dependency to interrupt their deliverables. After they are all ways funded enough as they proposed or request for before any general elections. So pleae forget that man, the current regime is already buying him, which I believe he would definitely agree to, afterall, they brought him in. So he is simply looking for excuses to bank on after he failed the system (rigging the election to the favour of that party). That is called strategy and proactiveness. My recommendation: Let the presidency stop appointment of INEC chairperson, it contradicts, and they can never bring in someone who they haven't bargained with. Politician na Politician, even when they are sleeping, all they dream of is how to influence by fire by force. 2 Likes |

Shimran:I subscribe to parties paying high for registration, but I don't think individual should pay their nomination to INEC, parties should still be paying for that also. Btw, before, do you know that INEC pay parties some sort of allowance, that's why we were having so much parties like University admission list, I think Buhari later stopped it and remove that part of the law. |

Yusufisraelj:What power does the INEC Chairman have to determine the result of an election? Not much. President Good luck Jonathan did not want to lose and President Buhari was not in full support of President Bola Tinubu. So who will lose will lose and who will win will win regardless of who is INEC chairman. He can't be in thousands of polling units at the same time and he can't reject what was sent to any collation center. No INEC officer can stop what everybody in a polling unit want to do too. So the fretting over who is INEC chairman is totally misplaced. INEC can not stop any state from voting ninety percent for any candidate 1 Like |

lawani:I read you correctly, but let me point out an omission from your deposition. I have been a presiding officer in an election cycle, the problem is not at the polling units, but the state collation center's. I was in Kaduna when a particular candidate won and right there and then the results were muddled by a powerful political figure for the second person to be the winner. Check the last Edo State election, it was marred by gross irregularities thanks to the forensic records who showed by polling units that PDP won but APC got the upper hand. The thing is ELECTION RESULTS CAN BE TAMPERED WITH AT STATE AND LGA COLLATION CENTERS IF IT LARGELY REMAINS MANUAL INPUT. That's why we have irev, why didn't it work on the presidential elections? The goal of the irev is to show election results at polling units level across the country where it is most accurate and reflect's the will of the people, so that the national headquarters can see it and just wait for state collation centers to ratify it. Until we have this level of transparency, I don't believe any figure released is credible data that reflects the will of the people at a national level, which should be studied for more insight on voters demography and influence on choices: which is very key by the way to understand the citizenry. 1 Like |

Yusufisraelj:While malpractice is possible as everything is, it isn't at all easy. If it were easy, why was the APC not able to win the SE? Why was the LP not able to win the NW? Why was Jonathan not able to save himself? If you have your party agents at every polling unit as a party and they can't be intimidated, I don't see how the election can be rigged against you. If they are not there or they can be intimidated then you will lose. In short if you do the required work and the conditions favor you then you will win. No INEC can stop you |
