Broad analysis of the EU's report in enhancing future electoral process

The European Union Election Observation Mission to Nigeria for the March 2019 general election has released it's final report advising a new law that ensures both transparent in the election results collation process. The EU mission concluded that the election was marred by severe operational and transparency shortcomings, electoral security problems and low turnout. It says a systematic failings in the election shows the need for fundamental reform. The EU applauded INEC for making some improvements.

DISQUS

What is important is that the Nigerian government, the presidency has said that they have taken note of the 30 recommendations by the European Union election observation commission as articulated by Hannah Roberts, Deputy chief observer for the EU mission on Saturday. I think that is a positive attribute by the government for not being defensive in any way.

Also the PDP has played politics with it, to say that this is a clear indication that the election was flawed. But it's better to look at the report holistically.

What the European Union is calling for is fundamental reform of the electoral process in Nigeria. The European Union observing 94 collation centers, looked at security bridges, accused INEC of lack of transparency in the collation of results, complained about violence, and indeed there was violence. At least about 150 people reportedly died during the election process. Rivers, Imo, Kano, these were states where there was issues of violence. And also there was security bridges of course, and one of the emerging topics on that election was about the role that was played by the military, and the violation of the process in many parts of the country. So what is important is to learn lessons on that election. And INEC himself has responded to say yes, that INEC is ready to tow the part of reforms, and whatever is possible within the available legal framework.

And we hope that the government will be committed to conducting much better elections in 2023. President should have a chance to conduct free fair and credible elections in 2023, and by-election as the case may be. And we hope that the judicial process will ensure that the injustice in any of the cases that are either before the tribunal that are before the courts are handled fairly.

Lies! This man died since 2012- LEDAP

News circulated last week about one Mr Olatunji Olaide, who was imprisoned for 24 years, for a crime he never committed, by the leader of the Joint Legal action Aids(JLAA), Kinsley Ughe. Well an NGO, Legal Defence And Assistance Project (LEDAP), has refuted the claim, revealing that Mr Olaide died in 2012, shortly after he was released, and that no one should make any cash donation on his behalf. They have these to say; Our attention has been drawn to the fraudulent reports circulating on social media platforms requesting for cash donations from the members of the public to assist Olatunji Olaide who spent twenty four years in prison for an offence he never committed. We were also notified that one Mr. Kingsley Ughe, the Chief Lawyer of Joint Legal Action Aid claimed to have represented Mr. Olatunji Olaide at the Court of Appeal on his conviction for murder. This information is a gross misrepresentation of facts. Late Olatunji Olaide was convicted by Honourable Justice A. O.

Foreign based Nigerian big boy, Dharmie Richie threatened to expose that Hushpuppi is living a fake life. According to Dharmie Richie, the Dubai based self acclaimed Gucci king, lives a fake life, and is always borrowing money to buy common recharge cards. Though Hushpuppy dished out claims that he is not rich, after his former friends, Mompha and Cubana Chief priest, claimed that Bentley Bentayga and Rolls Royce, bought by Hushpuppy were all rented cars, Dharmie Richie, threatening to expose Hushpuppy over his fake lifestyle, will likely make people conclude that yes, Hushpuppy is a fake guy.
