Indications have emerged that the National Chairman of the board of INEC, Prof Yakubu is bent on getting reappointed for the conduct of the 2023 elections, having failed in previous missions.

A source disclosed to this reporter that having failed to improve the legacy of election integrity under the Buhari era so far , with growing evidence of failed use of card readers and numerous inconclusive elections and increased petitions of Election results,
Prof Yakubu has embarked on a shaky campaign to regain the attention of Nigerians and elements within the Buhari Government to be re-appointed.

It was gathered that some highly placed officials in the President's cabinet are not in support of the reappointment on grounds that he will be a political liability to the government which needs to leave behind an untainted record of support for Democracy which will assure President Buhari of significant Democratic and global respect when he leaves office in 2023.

"As a result, some of these officials are distancing themselves from reported efforts to influence Yakubu's reappointment", the source noted.

In the foregoing, Prof Yakubu has deployed hundreds of millions to his re-appointment project.

Credible sources also have it that he is using different contact groups in and out of Abuja for this purpose and using different strategies such as car gifts to highly connected women who are close to the Villa, as well as promises of contracts to install expensive e-Voting equipment to the lobbyists.

Those who have various political ambitions are also promised of INEC cooperation to secure such elective offices.

At the same time, a certain National Commissioner, Dr. Mustapha Lecky is said to be a beneficiary of the sponsored lobbying by a Senator from the South South, using his office and other lobbyists in the Villa to get him appointed as the National Chairman of the Commission.
FEARS FOR BUHARI'S DEMOCRATIC LEGACY AS PROF. YAKUBU INTENSIFIES LOBBYING FOR RE-APPOINTMENT

Having Failed To Improve The Legacy Of Election Integrity Under The Buhari era so far , with growing evidence of failed use of card readers , an effect device that brought President Buhari to power; numerous inconclusive elections and increased petitions of Election results, Prof Yakubu has embarked on a shaky campaign to regain the attention of Nigerians and elements within the Buhari Government to be re-appointed in order for him to be able to conduct better election in 2023. However, some highly placed officials in government circles feel that re-appointing him will be a political liability for the government that needs to leave behind an untainted record of support for Democracy which will assure President Buhari of significant Democratic and global respect when he leaves office in 2023.

For this reason and mindful of the widespread dissatisfaction locally and within the lnternational Community over the outcome of the 2019 elections that fell far below the quality and credibility of the 2015 elections, some concerned members of the Government that have the ears of the President are reported to be advising him not to make the fundamental mistake of re-appointing prof. Yakubu in order to protect his own personal integrity. As a result, some of these officials are distancing themselves from reported efforts to influence his reappointment. Prof Yakubu himself has deployed hundreds of millions to this re-appointment project. Credible sources allege, that he is using different contact groups in and out of Abuja. He is also said to be using different strategies such as car gifts to highly connected women who are close to the Villa, as well as promises of contracts to install hugely expensive e-Voting equipment to the lobbyists. Those who have various political ambitions are also promised of INEC cooperation to secure such elective offices. At the same time, another National Commissioner, Dr. Mustapha Lecky is also said to the beneficiary of sponsored lobbying by a Senator from the South South using his office and other lobbyist in the Villa to get this National Commissioner with very low approval rating within INEC to get him appointed as a National Chairman of the Commission. These active lobbying by supposedly neutral election umpires is a major threat to Nigerian elections and democracy; that a man whose tenure is coming to an end next month wants to re-occupy such a sensitive office as an Umpire by cutting partisan and other compromising deals by making future commitments to politicians for re-appointment is deeply troubling. Its only in Nigeria that this could happen, elsewhere Prof. Yakubu and Dr. Mustapha Lecky would be disqualified automatically for this level of lobbying and desperation shown by them. Many now question if the office of the Chairman of the lndependent National Electoral Commission is now for sale to the highest bidder ? President Buhari will destroy his integrity and credibility if a person like this is allowed to Chair the election management body. He is a professor of History and a lecturer at the Nigeria Defence Academy and should return to the classroom in kaduna.

Those in government who are concerned by these developments have expressed dismay that going by such lobbying , the current Chairman and his team are undermining the integrity of INEC by seeking reappointment by committing to partisan favours that will undermine the 2023 General Elections.

These APC guys are taking Nigerians for a ride. If only this country can be divided into 4, where there will be Arewa, Biafia, Niger Delta, Oduduwa... It would be better.

Are you sure it will solve the country' problems?

Nigeria problem is beyond INEC leadership.

Akwaibomdaily:


Are you sure it will solve the country' problems?

It will never solve the problem...there is a mentality of doing things for an average black man and that is present in all our leaders regardless of their tribe..it's about greed..unfortunately, the crop of Politicians who are emerging from all regions are worse. Desperation has taken over what motivates people in politics in Nigeria and they can do anything to get to power. Many smart and intellectual minds won't for obvious reasons go that path, so these incompetent desperados will continue in their various regions even if the country separate.

But INEC contributes to it by not always doing the right thing

You have said it all, what do you think would quell the impending menace?

Akwaibomdaily:

It will solve most of the problems and there will be a massive development, job creations, and piece if the country is being divided.
