Amadi Accuses INEC as Major Barrier to Free Elections in Nigeria
Sam Amadi, the Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, has recently voiced strong criticism of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), labelling it as a significant obstacle to credible elections in Nigeria.
In a statement posted on X, Amadi pointed out that opposition political parties often hold the misconception that INEC can be their ally in rigging future elections.
He questioned why these parties have not united to advocate for urgent constitutional reforms that would replace INEC with a new, independent body, as previously suggested by the Uwais Commission.
Amadi expressed his frustration, stating, “The real problem with elections in Nigeria is INEC.
Why can’t opposition politicians come together and demand quick constitutional amendments to end INEC and create a new body appointed as Uwais recommended? Why? Do they believe INEC will rig for them next time? Foolishness.”
His comments come in the wake of the recent governorship election in Edo State, which has been marred by serious allegations.
Observers have raised concerns over vote-buying and claims that INEC officials colluded with politicians to manipulate the election results.
The ongoing debates surrounding the integrity of INEC and the electoral process in Nigeria highlight the urgent need for reform and accountability in the country’s political landscape.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
