Amadi Accuses INEC as Major Barrier to Free Elections in Nigeria

Published

on


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.

The federal government has given the green light for the construction of an airstrip at Canaanland, the headquarters of Living Faith Church Worldwide, commonly referred to as Winners Chapel, located in Ota, Ogun State.

Bishop David Oyedepo shared this exciting news with his congregation during the special Tehillah Night service held at the church’s premises.

He emphasized that the airstrip’s primary purpose is to enhance transportation for worshippers and visitors, especially during major events like Shiloh.

With this new development, attendees will have the convenience of landing directly at the church grounds, eliminating the need to travel to a nearby airport first.

This means that church members will now have the opportunity to land their aircraft and park them right at Canaanland, making it easier for them to attend services and events.
