A coalition of over 70 human rights organizations, under the aegis of Nigeria Civil Society Situation Room, on Monday raised fears over alleged commercialisation of votes in Nigeria, describing it as threat to electoral system.
The Co-convener of the NCCSR and Executive Director, Policy and Legal Advocacy Centre, Clement Nwankwo, expressed the views in his second interim statement on Edo State governorship election. The group, which called for a more effective enforcement of election laws added, “Situation Room calls on the National Assembly to move quickly and urgently proceed with legislative action to ensure the passage of the Electoral Offences Commission Bill that creates a body to enforce respect for election laws.
In a related development, a pro-democracy think tank, the Centre for Democracy and Development, on Monday rated the Edo State election as “relatively credible.”
Just too bad that in this country,we find it difficult to set our priorities right, as a people.
...And all that money would have been invested in new technologies for the socio-economic benefit of our country, in terms of job and wealth creation for our teeming youths.
Because Nigerians politicians are backwards
It has always been... The system is corrupt.. And those intending to do to do worse are more than those in d system already.. Na God hand we dey..
