• Verdict ‘tears apart’ ruling, opposition parties• ‘How Buhari’s non-assent to Electoral Bill undermined commission’The recently released report of the European Union Election Observation Mission to Nigeria on the 2019 general elections continued yesterday to attract different interpretations.
The Director General of the Voice of Nigeria and card-carrying member of the APC, Mr. Osita Okechukwu, said the report vindicated the position of some members of the party that INEC did not generate results of the 2019 elections from a server. He said the report put to rest the lingering controversy on the subject. “Some of us have been vindicated, as our position has been that INEC did not generate the 2019 general elections result from a server,” he said.
“Therefore, Facebook Server or Twitter Server, the hard fact is that Buhari has cult followership, which is only comparable to that of Mallam Aminu Kano or Sir Ahmadu Bello, Sarduna of Sokoto, both of blessed memory, in the North. Nobody can erase this hard fact,” he said. The EU EOM had, in its report on the 2019 general elections, concluded that the last-minute decision by Buhari to reject the Electoral Act Amendment Bill put undue operational pressure on INEC.It said the 2019 elections would have recorded substantial improvements from past elections had the president assented to the bill.
It said that prior to the election day, it observed overlapping jurisdictions and lengthy timelines resulting in conflicting and late rulings. He noted that the current framework for the registration of political parties is insufficient to guarantee the registration of qualitative, membership-driven and ideologically propelled political parties.
He noted further that the commission would review conditions for the de-registration of political parties as the fourth alteration to the constitution was inadequate to weed out dormant and commercial platforms parading as political parties. “Guerilla approach to the conduct of party primaries has no bearing and no foundation in Section 87 of the Electoral Act 2010,” he declared.
“What is Yakubu Mahmood still doing as chairman when the shoddy and shabby electoral heist he supervised has been discredited locally and globally?” HURIWA asked.
It is not even the final report reserve your judgement
