The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been faced with several challenges over the years, particularly during election periods. Many have attributed these challenges to the intentions of ruling parties, especially the All Progressives Congress (APC), to rig elections in their favor.
Bola Akinterinwa, a renowned professor of international relations and former director-general of the Nigerian Institute of International Affairs, believes that the ruling APC has deliberately created an environment in which INEC cannot effectively carry out its duties.
One of the challenges faced by INEC is the issue of voter registration. The ruling party has been accused of engaging in the illegal registration of voters, particularly in areas where they are likely to gain an advantage. This creates a situation whereby the electoral process is rigged in favor of the ruling party, and the opposition is unfairly disadvantaged.
Another challenge faced by INEC is the use of electronic voting machines. Although the commission has made efforts to introduce electronic voting machines, the ruling party has resisted this move, citing concerns about the reliability and security of such systems. This has led to delays in the adoption of this technology, which could potentially reduce the incidence of electoral fraud.
Furthermore, the ruling party has been accused of using violence and intimidation to rig elections. This includes the use of armed thugs to intimidate voters and opposition party members, as well as the manipulation of security agencies to suppress opposition votes.
Akinterinwa believes that the current government’s lack of willingness to implement electoral reforms is another significant challenge faced by INEC. Despite several recommendations from civil society groups and international observers, the government appears to be unwilling to enact the necessary changes required to ensure free and fair elections.
Another challenge faced by INEC is the issue of funding. The commission is heavily dependent on government funding, which often leads to delays in the procurement and deployment of necessary equipment and personnel. This adversely affects the efficiency and effectiveness of INEC, particularly during election periods.
In conclusion, the challenges faced by INEC are not new, and they are not limited to Nigeria. However, the intentions of the ruling party, particularly the APC, to rig elections and manipulate the electoral process, have contributed significantly to the difficulties faced by the commission. Addressing these challenges requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders, including the government, civil society organizations, and international observers. Only then can Nigeria have truly free and fair elections.
The worst election in Nigeria's history
Election was not postponed but was rigged. Is it credible
So fake results from INEC should be accepted
Si fake results from INEC should be accepted.
Babatunde Odunaike. Justice delayed is Justice denied.
We have a culture of celebrating criminals which gives them the audacity to affront us disguised as politicians , no modicum of integrity , as if criminality is legitimate in Nigeria
One of the international observers was Stacey Abrams, a former State of Georgia State Representative and gubernatorial candidate. She has done a lot of grassroots work regarding the election process in United States. International observers are clearly needed. Without them voters would have been gaslit worse than they are right now. Bombastic statements and rhetoric keeps people in the dark.
Prof Anthony kila is dead right on his analysis and comments on these events in Nigeria, particularly on his assessment of the role of international election observers and the performance of the Nigerian media.
IT'S the VOTE telling people to go to their country according to ETHNICITIES demand.
Why is people fixated on lagos, there is a NYSC in one the south East state that was uploading one of the candidate vote for another but none of you guys are not talking about it. Only talking about APC, why now for Jesus Christ name let's move on
So PDP Rigged elections for 16 years for you to have now said that APC have rigged the election you are now using Muslim, Christian issue Bola Akinteruwa, may God forgive you if he will. So, because some of the candidates were optimistic and Mr Obi is fooling the Christians by calling God's name anyhow means he will win? And are you telling us that the others does not serve a living God? Please don't let us be sentimental here
2023 election was the best election ever in the history of Nigeria, but the evil INEC shattered the whole thing.
Is Bola Akinteruwa a man or woman, please can you let us know
someone was busy speaking torenchi about server failure, Please oh! let's stop all these nonsense
This panel of analysts, the political criminals in nigeria knows you more than you know them. You are now talking of how the next election will be, ttis is exactly what they want to hear from you and you are already playing them game for them Everything is a joke for you people nigerians , and with this attitude you never see change in that society. MAY JEHOVAH HELP YOU IF HE IS WILLING TO DO THAT. THANKS AND I WISH YOU PEOPLE LUCK.
Let the youths sincerely keep up faith with quality, capacity, competence, morality, shown corruption and tribalism and embrace integrity, fairness in electing our leaders. The present 2023 election is actually a startup democratic revolution in Nigeria. I pray Nigerians keep the struggle on.
Woman stop making excuses for INEC for either planning to fail or intentionally refusing to operate in IGBO LAND.
INEC Planned well but influenced by MONEY!INEC WAS DRIVEN BY CORRUPTION. Huge MONEY APPETITE.
Nobody is saying about the 120 polling units in IMO STATE INEC STAFF did not show up at those polling units. In some polling units INEC staff went at the units without material including the machines. Is INEC trying to disfranchise Imo State citizen, and infant all States in SouthEastern States. Let INEC tell us if it intends to disfranchise the people of Southeastern States who came out to vote but for reasons of INEC’s inability or refusal to include them in this all important 2023 election?
Democracy is on the back foot. There was no network failure. INEC still corrupt and they failed Nigeria. The next time around please appoint men of integrity to such position if u want democracy to thrive.
What happened was the system carefully planned for failure so that the results could easily be manipulated.
The beauty of Nigeria is that official data which are most times faulty, are often used to justify corruption and cheating. People take pleasure in quoting them knowing that they are more often wrong.
The truth will prevail, Nigeria is stronger than a few.
Tinubu paid to rig
GOD WILL JUDGE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE THAT INVOLVE IN JUSTICE ⚖ IN NIGERIA.
