Valid concerns up there.

I won't pretend that INEC has really lived up to expectations. But as I said in response to another post, our security institutions and electorates have bigger role to play in helping INEC conclude any election successfully.

Having said that, Nigeria should start looking at staggered elections instead of having a general election throughout the country in one single day knowing fully well we lack the resources to give us a credible one.

But in the absence of that, I will always welcome an election declared inconclusive for obvious flaws and repeated twice or more; than support releasing mere figures that don't represent the people's wish.

PDP conducted the elections that eventually got them kicked out of power last year. How did the INEC do it? I think the last current INEC chairman needs some more lessons from his predecessor.

There's no reason whatsoever why the INEC can't conclude LG elections on a time and save us this waste of very limited resources.

I know it isn't currently allowed in the constitution but he (Prof Yakubu) ought to be lobbying the legislooters to change the freaking laws to reflect the country's current economic situation. We simply can't afford more bloodshed and stretched public services because of few cancelled elections at certain wards or LG's.

Nothing wrong with allowing result of an election with participation of at least 70%
So the 70% will be the computed baseline when they aggregate up to council, LGA or State level.

It can even be based on hard numbers (Total votes against expected participation derived from registered voters and PVC collection) rather than % based on ward sizes


Bottom line is, we have to try different things to move this country forward

As I told you b4, many elections in PDP's sixteen years were doctored. They were not in the true sense of the word concluded. Results of many of them were written in sitting room of politicians.

I don't think staggered elections will perform worse than we have now.

If I may ask, what suggestions would you give to INEC where there are flaws during elections, other than just writing/doctoring result?

DropShot:
The only solution as of NOW is declaring doctored results as previously done under PDP.

The other solutions cannot be immediate.

Think!

Even the ones lost by the PDP was written in your father's bedroom, look this man will defecate in a plastic bag and give you people and you will eat and tell us that his fecal matter is delicious and good for health, God punish all of you.

Ogbeni! Why this man thread dey pepper you like dis 4 body na?


Na suggestion the bobo make no be law!

DropShot:
So, declaring doctored election results is success?

You guys think you're capable of proper reasoning but you're not.

BlackSeptember:
The INEC chairman should ask Jega to explain how he successfully conducted the past ele without any hitches.


If this inconclusive nonsense persists to yhe next gener election then it will be yhe biggest threat to our democracy.


Please close this thread and apologise for this Hocus-Pocus you brought here.


Deapreye I'm disappointed in you seeing reason with this. There is nothing like near truth biko
