On the march again! Whereas Professor Attahiru Jega, immediate past National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, brought some reforms of significant reckoning to the processes and procedures of Nigeria’s electoral system, his controversial allocation of 30,000 Polling Units, PUs, which was shot down in 2015, may be on its way to being surreptitiously re-introduced by the new leadership of Prof. Mahmood Yakubu. Disguised as Voting Points Settlements, VPS, the cat was let out of the bag recently by the former chairman when he openly congratulated the new leadership on its reforms in the area of voting points, a revelation that was strange to insiders at the Commission. This report will show why the new move may not different from the failed lopsided allocation, which saw the North handed over 21,000, while the South had less than 9,000 PUs.

I am not from the South East but truth be said, it seems Nigeria is bent on marginalisation. How can FCT Abuja be allocated more polling units than the entire South East? 1 Like |
