British Government Mocks Nigeria Government Over Ekiti Vote Buying by Ngtimes: 1:00pm On Jul 21, 2018 |
British Government has frowned at the alleged vote-buying, which marred the recent Ekiti State governorship election. The British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Paul Arkwright, described vote-buying as a form of electoral misconduct like rigging and ballot stuffing. He stated this while addressing journalists shortly after a meeting with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, in Abuja on Friday. He said, “I was there in Ekiti to monitor elections and I heard a lot of reports of alleged vote buying and we are convinced that some vote buying went on. I condemn it. Vote buying is illegal; it is against the law, it is just as vote rigging, it is just as bad as ballot stuffing. “We cannot make a distinction when all these activities are illegal so I condemn that. What are we going to do about it? Well we just had a meeting with the chairman of INEC, we have been talking about public awareness and how the political parties themselves can take responsibility for condemning this action and not continuing it. “We do hope that 2019 will be free, fair, credible and of course, peaceful elections.” The British envoy, however, commended INEC for the conduct of elections in recent times, saying the UK government had faith in INEC and its leadership. He added, “I think the election process itself went well, the materials were there, the security forces kept their distance and did manage to keep a peaceful election and we are seeing progress in how INEC is carrying out each election. So, we have confidence in INEC and the chairman. http://www.thengtimes.com/2018/07/british-government-mocks-nigeria.html?m=1 |

Unfortunately Buhari reads only cartoon section of any newspaper. He won't see this, and his (yes) men won't tell him. He will fire them for mentioning it to him if they dare. |

Distribution of rice and other foodstuffs to induce voters should also be made illegal. These days, politicians are so brazen that they will put their images on 1kg bags of rice to be distributed to hungry and gullible voters. |

The issue was not just vote buying, it was direct manipulation of the numbers by the APC-Federal Government of Nigeria using INEC. That is what makes the election totally unacceptable. 1 Like
