The New Initiative for Credible Leadership has demanded the outright
cancellation of Saturday’s re-run election in Rivers State, arguing that it
falls short of all known local and international standards of acceptable
elections and should have been called off when violence sparked-off in the
hours preceding it.
In a letter to Mr. Aniedi Ikoiwak, the Rivers State Resident Electoral
Commissioner (REC), the group said it will work with the Centre for Social
Justice, Equity and Transparency (CESJET), Africa Arise for Change
Network, Nigerians United Against Terrorism, the Arewa Youth Integrity
Forum and other NGOs that monitored the election to occupy the Abuja
headquarters of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)
should it go ahead to validate controversial polls.
The letter signed by Rev Steven Onwu, asked President Muhammadu
Buhari to declare a state of emergency in the state if the actors continue
to disrespect the sanctity of human lives and not ready to give democracy
a chance.
It warned the REC that the NGOs “are not ruling out the option of
demanding that you (Ikoiwak) stand trial if you go ahead to act in ways
that confirm you are complicit in the criminal conduct of the fraud that is
now being passed off as an election.”
While arguing that no right thinking person will attempt to ascribe the
name of election to what took place in Eleme, Gokana, Khana, Adoni, Tai
and Bonny Local Government Areas, the group contended that Ikoiwak
has “helped INEC to break its own record by conducting what is now the
worst election in Nigeria.
“This posture of INEC in Rivers state greatly encouraged political actors to
display lack of respect for the sanctity of human lives to the extent that
Nigerians are now greatly worried that they have been returned to the
barbaric and Hobbesian state of nature for the interest of very few
Nigerians.” It noted.
The letter further stated that “While you (Ikoiwak) continue to pretend that
all is well, we have cause to salute the conduct of the security agencies
that made efforts to send a strong message to the perpetrators of violence
that Nigeria does not belong to them alone. Their reports will form basis
to legally act against you when the time is right.
“Despite the complete breakdown of law and order, your commission
persisted in conducting the sham to the detriment of the electorate who
have no way of expressing their true wishes under the condition in which
the poll supposedly held.
“Even security operatives, who should provide cover for voters, were killed
alongside citizens they should protect. There was widespread snatching
of ballot boxes, results were written in obscure locations, there were
escalated threats to the lives of voters, and armed militants were
mobilized to disrupt polls in addition to other unspeakable atrocities that
exposed the decline of INEC in the past months to the international
community,” it

If APC like let them cancel this election and conduct it 1,000,000,000 times, PDP will still win it 1,000,000,000 times.


But the truth is, cancelling all the election is a pipeline dream! And declaring a state of emergency will be met with ultimate resistance. And besides, where does Bubu intend to manufacture 73 senators that will support him from?


I challenge the tyrant to try it!

Buhari can never try that nonsense
