Dr. Ayodele Fayose, the Ekiti State Governor, reacting to the alleged manipulation of the Imo North Senatorial election, which was declared inconclusive, has expressed worry over the inability of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to conduct credible and conclusive elections since the administration of the President Mohammadu Buhari led All Progressives Congress (APC) government took over power.
The governor said “democracy in Nigeria is being threatened by INEC and this should call for national and international reflection.”
Lere Olayinka, Special Assistant to the governor on Public Communications and New Media, quoted Fayose as saying that; “If we have done more than 15 elections since President Buhari assumed office and all ended inconclusive, it is obvious that we are tending towards anarchy.”
He said; “it is becoming very clear that votes of Nigerians are no
longer allowed to count under this APC government and one wonders if President Buhari would have been elected if the system then did not allow free and fair elections.”
Governor Fayose urged Nigerians to show more concern with
institutionalising democracy than the issue of who wins election,
adding that; “The only duty the APC government owes Nigerians is to allow for a system that will make them to be able to elect their
leaders freely.
“This system was created and allowed to flourish by the Peoples
Democratic Party (PDP) government. The APC, which is obviously desperate to hijack power at all levels through open manipulation of the electoral process must know that preventing people’s votes from counting is a clear invitation to anarchy.
“As it is, APC stalwarts are using security agents to unleash
violence on Nigerians during elections because they know that the
president won’t lift a finger provided his party members are the ones perpetrating electoral evil.”
He said; “Nigeria was already getting that important aspect of
democracy, which is election right before the advent of this APC
government and the government, especially INEC should be mindful of what history will present concerning them.”
