President Buhari arrived his home
town of Daura on Thursday ahead of
the Governorship and State Assembly
elections scheduled for Saturday. He landed at the Daura Helipad in a
Presidential Chopper marked NAF-541
at 6:50 p.m. in company with his aides
and close family members. The president was received by the
Emir of Daura, Farouk Umar, his
kinsmen, and hundreds of well-
wishers. The president’s wife, Aisha
Buhari, will also host a thanksgiving
dinner for women and youth organisations in Daura. |
The Chairman of the National Peace Committee, General Abdulsalam Abubakar, says the group has presented the grievances and observations of the Peoples Democratic Party presidential candidate in Saturday’s election, Atiku Abubakar, to the President. Gen. Abubakar told journalists after the committee met with President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday that the meeting was basically to convey the fears of the PDP to the President, affirming that Mr. Atiku did not give conditions as being speculated. “Mr. President has listened to us and also taken note of what we have told him. On behalf of this country and all of us regardless, we need peace. This country is very important to all of us. We are not talking of self-interest; we are talking of the interest of Nigeria,” said Gen Abubakar. He described the PDP presidential candidate’s decision to approach the courts as the right thing to do. “I keep saying, whenever there is violence, we are not going to see violence in Ikoyi, in the Villa and you will not find violence in the various government houses in this country. “It is always the poor men that get to kill themselves and so on. So, please, yes, as much as we have grievances, l am glad that the PDP said they are going to court to challenge the process. l think this is the right way to go about it, and l hope and pray that we will maintain this.” The meeting comes a day after the Committee met with the PDP Presidential candidate, in the company of other leaders of the party including the PDP National Chairman, Uche Secondus, Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and House of Representatives Speaker, Yakubu Dogara, among others. The National Peace Committee has been in the forefront of the campaign for peaceful elections in the country. In the run up to the Presidential and National Assembly polls, the Committee got the presidential candidates to sign a Peace Accord, pledging to maintain the atmosphere peace and urge their supporters to abstain from violence. |
The Independent National Electoral Commission is currently meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners at Abuja The electoral officers are meeting to discuss the March 9 governorship and State House of Assembly and the Federal Capital Territory elections preparations. The elections will be held in 29 of 36 states across the country. Also, part of the agenda of the meeting is for the RECs to give assessments about the just- concluded presidential and National Assembly polls. The presidential election was held on Saturday, February 28. It was marred by delays, sporadic violence, and allegations of vote rigging. Incumbent President Muhammadu Buhari defeated opposition candidate Atiku Abubakar of the People’s Democratic Party. INEC announced the final count on Wednesday, after days of vote tabulating across states. Buhari won handily, securing approximately 56 percent of the vote, compared to Atiku’s 41 percent. After the announcement, Buhari thanked his supporters. “I am deeply humbled and profoundly grateful to you for judging me worthy of continuing to serve you and for your peaceful conduct,” he said. However, Abubakar is challenging the results of the poll. He claimed that there were “statistical improbabilities” that were apparent, such as high turnout in areas plagued by conflict and lower turnout in peaceful states. He also alleged that the military personnel deployed to keep the peace had helped suppress the vote in certain areas. “If I had lost in a free and fair election, I would have called the victor within seconds of my being aware of his victory to offer not just my congratulations, but my services to help unite Nigeria by being a bridge between the North and the South,” Abubakar said. He added, “I hereby reject the result of the February 23, 2019 sham election and will be challenging it in court.” |
“Improved turnout will give parliament and government the appearance of being more legitimate.” – Peter Lynch A few years ago I was privy to a “trial” somewhere in Cross River state. Basically, a woman was accused of pilfering by her neighbour and reported to the authorities. On the appointed trial date (the day after the report was lodged), she was summoned by the adjudicating authorities and asked to report for trial. She refused, simply because she did not recognise the authority of that court. So, they came and carried her to court. The trial lasted 30 minutes. The procedure was shockingly simple — the plaintiff made her complaint, the defendant retorted, the plaintiff was given a chance to respond, and finally, the defendant had another say. When that was done, the three judges huddled together and came to their decision. Not guilty. This lady who had earlier refused to accept the authority of what was effectively a militant court became a convert. One more person had logged out of the Nigerian state. I can almost guarantee that that lady did not come out to vote this weekend past. Based on the results that have been released as of this point, Nigeria’s voter numbers are shrinking, when they ought to be rising. Based on our population projections, between 2015 and now, about 17 million more Nigerians became eligible to vote, and INEC’s own figures showed that more people registered, and collected their voter identity cards. Yet, we are on course for the lowest turnout since we began our current democratic exercise. This low turnout is a bit incongruous with the numbers that INEC published for voter card collection, a number which was queried by someone in the office given the sheer amount of complaints we heard during the CVR exercise. Someone else quipped that people came out to collect their PVCs because it was a cheap identity card, but people wouldn’t come out to vote. I’m afraid he appears to have been right. In Lagos, the votes for both parties, of course other mushroom parties existed on the ballot, shrank from 1.4 million in the last election to 1.02 million this year despite a higher number of registered voters. In some parts of the South East, we saw turnout as low as 11 per cent, and even in the much vaunted APC strongholds of Kano and Katsina, voter turnout appears to have fallen as well. I saw a tweet referencing voter turnout from those states (and some other Northern states) in terms of absolute numbers, and what struck me was that the absolute numbers are approximately the same. To me this means that while the population is increasing, and getting younger, it is the same set of people, largely, who are voting, and even these voters are logging out. Fast in the South, but also in the North too. Such things bring a crisis of legitimacy, and that is a danger to our democracy, as people, looking for someone to lead, would naturally turn to unsavoury characters to lead them. It should worry everyone that since 2003, turnout has consistently dropped by 69%. Even 2007 which the winner acknowledged was heavily rigged had 57 per cent turnout. 2011 was 54 per cent, and 2015 was 44 per cent. As per the Youth Initiative For Advocacy, Growth And Advancement, YIAGA, “turnout for the 2019 elections falls below the bar set in 2015. This reflects the growing sense of disconnect between the Nigerian people and the political elite.” Back to the “trial” I talked about at the start of this piece —by sitting in judgement over people, the extra-state actors who held the trial will have gained some legitimacy. To enforce that, they will by necessity have some levers of violence, and the people in their territory will cede those levers of violence to them. The implied social contract is this — you have the levers of violence, so you provide us two things, justice and security. It means that if they are not on the vote, then people will not come out to vote. In fulfilling that implied contract, they will need to raise funds, and as a result, will begin to, slowly at first, tax the people around. Is it a stretch at this point to see how they will become an alternative government? A relatively comparable story can be told from Mexico, turnout fell from a high of 77% in 1994, consistently to 59% in 2006. This coincided with the rise of various drug cartels that essentially became an alternative state. On 11 December 2006, the government launched a war against the drug gangs, and since the government began to gain the upper hand, election turnout has been rising – 63% in 2012, and 64% last year. It appears that slowly, the people are seeing their government working for them, and are beginning to engage again, with the democratic process. |
There have been speculations on
social media that Senator Godswill
Akapbio has lost the elections in Akwa
Ibom North West Senatorial District to
the candidate of the People’s
Democratic Party, Chris Ekpenyong. However, the REC dispelled the
rumours saying, “Nobody has declared
election results in Akwa Ibom North
West Senatorial District”. |

Supporters of All Progressives Congress, APC, who trooped out to vote for candidates of their choice on Saturday are still confused over who they voted for out of the two candidates of APC vying for the same post. However, incumbent Senator David Umaru (Niger East Senatorial District) has maintained that he remained the authentic and only recognised candidate of the party. Speaking with journalists after casting his vote, Umaru said despite the ruling of the Federal High Court Abuja, which recently declared his challenger, Sani Musa, as the authentic candidate of APC, he remained the only flag bearer of the party. According to him, “it is expedient to let you know that I cast my vote on Saturday for myself as Niger East Senatorial candidate of my great party, APC and I, David Umaru, is the candidate. All the noise you hear about it is just rumour that does not exist. “In reality my name was forwarded by the party to INEC and everything that happened after is putting something on nothing. The decision of the court has been appealed. The Federal High Court is court of first instance and until we go through to the final court of jurisdiction, statu quo remains.” CLICK HERE TO COMM
