If INEC is serious about this, the first consideration should be the bullion van found in Tinubu's house. If they don't address this and come out with a clear statement, I won't take them serious because this INEC is a bunch of disgrace. We've never had it so bad in INEC like under this Fake Prof, Yakubu.

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has revealed its plan to delist weak parties and also review campaign funding. The Commission's Chairman on Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye, who confirmed that INEC will delist weak parties and also review campaign funding at the conclusion of the supplementary elections and petitions filed at various electoral tribunals. He told Punch; 

“The commission is tracking campaign spending by the  parties using its tracking devices. The commission will review the campaign spending of the parties at the conclusion of the current electoral  process.”

He further disclosed that a a review of the performances  of the parties could not be done immediately, because any party stood a chance of victory in the reruns  or at the tribunals.

“The process can only be activated when the commission completes all the supplementary elections and all the election petitions are disposed of. There is a possibility that a party that has not done well in any of the elections may win a seat in the National Assembly or state House of Assembly during the supplementary elections.“At the appropriate time, the commission will review the performances of  the  parties and take a decision on their future.”

This proliferation of political parties began after Gani Fawehimi won his case against INEC, am I right?

So, I suggest that INEC creates limitations for parties to contest in presidential elections in particular. For instance, parties that want to present candidates for presidential election must have agents present in each ward all over Nigeria.

That way, I don't think more than 10 parties can present candidates. I believe that'll make our presidential elections more mature and less expensive for INEC and Nigeria.

Who agrees with me?
why must a party contest nationally
What if i only want to contest my ward
Then i have to have agents in 8810 wards
This is how tyrant starts

The problem is, Gani won his case based on the fact that the Constitution does not empower INEC to create limitations to the registration or participation of parties.

That is where those who say 'The constitution has issues' have a point.

Amending the constitution, or passing a law to restrict party registration is going to be another long wahala.

My bad
But be careful what you wish for. All they need to do is bribe one agent to step down night before and now you're disqualified with 8809 agents.
Good soup
Na moni kill am.
This is one soup you don't want to skimp on
