With the way the Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria is carrying on under the watch of Professor Mahmood Yakubu as Chairman, it would take a miracle for the present Chairman of that controversial and embattled body, not to end up on the wrong side of history. Some jobs within the public space are by nature thankless regardless of efforts put in, but a job can be done so badly, what would be remembered are the ugly episodes and memories of failure.
The extent to which this is so is that after the elections of 25 February and 18 March, the electoral body, INEC took the decision to conduct supplementary elections in 24 states of the Federation, 2,660 polling units, 93 legislative constituencies and 185 local governments, where elections had been declared inconclusive. Those supplementary elections took place on Saturday, 15 April.
But before that advertised time of resumption, the State Resident Electoral Commissioner reportedly came into the centre and holding a handwritten note, without announcing any outstanding collated results, proceeded to announce Aisha Dahiru of the APC as the winner of the Gubernatorial election in Adamawa State.

The protesting residents stormed the major roads of the state capital, Yola in large numbers in a short clip posted by AIT on their verified Twitter handle captioned, “Protest in Yola over REC announcement of APC's Aisha Binani as Adamawa Governor-elect.” In case you missed it, APC in conjunction with INEC, just tried to carry out a coup again in Adamawa state. With a police officer by their side!!! This blatant disregard for democracy should be acknowledged for what it truly is. Call a spade a spade! Has the Adamawa REC been arrested yet? What a subversion of authority
