A former Anambra State governor, Dr Chukwuemeka
Ezeife, has raised the alarm that the Independent
National Electoral Commission (INEC) has been
hijacked by the North to actualize its unhidden
agenda to takeover power in 2015.
He premised the plot on the proposed review of poll­
ing units’ distribution chart in favour of the North and
the attendant arrogance and overflowing confidence
of leading politicians in the region ahead of next
year’s presidential elections.
This is the first time in history that the nation’s
electoral umpire is headed by a Northerner. Ezeife,
who spoke to Sunday Sun via electronic means
yesterday, deplored the distribution of polling units by
INEC, describing it as “shocking and a blatant rigging
design with impunity”. He decried the imperial
statements of Kano State Governor, Rabiu
Kwankwaso, and his Jigawa State counterpart, Sule
Lamido, saying they speak as people who have
background information.
He said: “In that distribution, North West has more
than 7000 units, the Southeast is given about the
same number of polling units as Abuja, the Federal
Capital – just a little more than 1000 units.
“The new distribution of polling units correlates nega­
tively or inversely with the distribution of votes for
Jonathan in the 2011 presidential election. The
Southeast is considered as Mr. President’s strongest
support base.”
Ezeife further revealed an impending plan by INEC to
“clean up the voters” register, which is alleged to
have resulted in wiping off more than half of
Southeast voters.
He raised some posers: “In view of published
distribution of polling units, doubt about the truth of
this “clean up” is weakened. Is there a grand plan to
rig the 2015 elections? Can it explain the indication
of strong but very surprising confidence oozing out
from the statements of some Northern politicians,
where ordinary political calculations and common
sense will suggest total absence of hope? Does it
give a clue to the attempt on Buhari’s life?”
Ezeife expressed optimism that the design will fail.
He urged President Goodluck Jonathan to push for
the confirmation of the report of the just concluded
National Conference, which has provided a
framework for a new Nigeria in which all the groups
in Nigeria can maximize their true interests.
He suggested that the affirmation of the National
Conference reports should take precedence over the
2015 elections.
Ezeife further submitted that the new Nigeria
envisaged by the National Conference will
accommodate the interests of all.
While explaining the willingness of the South East
geo-political entity to adapt in a united, progressive
and non-oppressive Nigeria, he said it will not
“object to peaceful disengagement and possible
regrouping. Concluding, he described Jonathan as a
tool in the hands of God, who has demonstrated a
huge deficiency in the archetypal manipulative
instincts of the Nigerian politician.
“A little deep thinking can reveal the hands of God in
the affairs of Nigeria “he said.

Has anyone else noted the large number of kids lining up to register in the just concluded INEC voter registration excercise in some northern states? I notice it a lot when watching the news!

This chief is just wasting his time....what did Prof Iwu do when he was there?

Why is this old man crying fowl? Is mr Ezeife running election 2015? The answer is No. Is any Igbo man/woman running election in 2015? The answer is No. So why can't this man reserve the remaining of his for his family?
