The Director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Sam Amadi, has stated that the leadership of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) compromised Nigeria’s 2023 elections.

Amadi, a former Executive Chairman and CEO of the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), argued that it was INEC officials who rigged the 2023 election, not the All Progressives Congress (APC), as widely believed.

He made this comment on Tuesday in Abuja during an interactive conference on electoral reform titled “Setting the Agenda,” held at Merit House and organized by the Civil Society Coalition for Sustainable Development.

Amadi said, “There is no lesson to learn from the last election in Ghana. Everything Ghana did right, we could also do. For example, we have improved in the timely delivery of electoral materials and in margin logistics.

“We have a much more bankable and digitalized electoral . So we’ve got everything right. But what we failed to get right is the fact that our electoral commission is partisan.

“Essentially, you are organizing elections in a third-world country where digital illiteracy is still a challenge, and where openness and transparency are lacking.

“For instance, many of us don’t even know the salaries of national assembly . Elsewhere, this kind of information is ed and easily accessible.

“Expenditure oversight is also critical. Money is receipted, spent, and verified by oversight offices. Many legislators in the UK have been sacked for spending public funds on luxury hotels instead of moderate accommodations or for giving money to girlfriends or family .

“Similarly, in the United States, many lawmakers have been prosecuted for campaign finance violations. Donations meant for campaigns have been traced to their families. These examples show better transparency abroad. Crucially, they do not appoint partisan individuals to their electoral bodies.

“Here, we give the president the power to appoint his brothers, party , and loyalists to the electoral commission, and then we expect accurate reporting after the votes are counted. Or that they will not switch off the server during the process.

We could have had a perfect election in 2023, but we didn’t because the INEC chairman and his essentially rigged the election.

I have said it before: APC didn’t rig the election; INEC rigged it.”

shocked



The rigging was just too obvious and disturbing. After massive rigging the family of the illiterate INEC chairman still wants to rob it on our faces. The illiterate INEC chairman son had to called the father with so much happiness on his face, congratulating the father for carrying out the greatest heist ever witness in human history and the father was all blushing. INEC chairman that supposed to be neutral was seen beaming his face with joy, and giving his son thumbs up shocked this revelation leds to the son of the useless illiterate INEC chairman to immediately deactivated his twitter .

Don't forget, prior before the election, this son of his had earlier tweeted "If Peter Obi wins, im not going back to Nigeria" INEC chairman son vomiting this? With all these glaring evidence, you' still want me not to believe that the Iragbiji drunk wasn't imposed. Nigeria is such a terrible place.

We spent resources, travelled from a very far away country to the zoo only to be disappointed due to the flawed electoral process. No problem. Evil don't last , they should enjoy their moment now while it last.

Server error or INEC switching it off wouldn't change a single thing right now, the only thing is that Tinubu's victory will always be debatable and Mahmood Yakubu will go down as the worst INEC Chairman in history, man had years to prepare and billions were spent only for everything to go down the drain on election day.

He prepared for years, tested it in state elections, came out to tell Nigerians that everything was fine and that they were ready for the elections only for the server to stop working for the presidential elections and to save face, the winner was declared by midnight when most Nigerians were sleeping and guess what, Mahmood Yakubu never resigned, Buhari didn't sack him for his incompetency, the president elect haven't sacked him either instead he continues using him to bastardize our electoral process, then tell me why most Nigerians won't question the election results.

nairaland landlady abi na shareholder you be, learn to manage words your utterances are always uncalled for. were you forced to the zoo? you know how things works in the zoo yet you chose to mudsling, you got served only to cry foul.

listen we all got cheated but we only have to leave a fight so as to be able to fight another day. you wake to batch tribe cos you are pained only to your ignorance even those you are insulting are your greatest ers.

I ed Obi all the way but was equally disappointed the election was rigged. it is insulting to those that ed the Obidient movement from other tribes if knowing fully the election was rigged.

only the votes from the south east block couldn't take Obi that far but our collective votes did, meaning Nigerians voted Obi massively just for us all to be Hoodwinked. don't, out of your meaningless hatred and bitterness destroy the momentum Obi has garnered.

Obi dogs keep claiming the election was rigged, when the court told them to present the real result since the one announced by inec was fake, they changed the allegation to Tinubu does not have a primary school result.

Osita Chidoka's analysis shows that INEC officials are now altering election results from the backend. I don't know what PDP and LP legislators are doing in the HoR and Senate because every opposition leader should be worried about this ugly development.

Those legislators should a bill to establish an independent agency that will review guber and presidential election results within a week after such elections and punish/prosecute culpable INEC officials. If there's no consequences for wrongdoing, it becomes a lifestyle.
