With the whole world turning to
a global village, last week‘s London lecture by
Nigeria‘s former most exemplary head of state &
current champion of democratization, polital freedom
& due process Gen. Muhammadu Buhari has already
reached the nook & cranies of the whole world.
Perhaps, what remain unmanifested was his gospel
truth description of Nigeria‘s electoral body (INEC) &
the judiciary. INEC boss chief press secretary
Kayode Idowu‘s confirmation that, a faceless group
of people did approach INEC for registration of a new
political party by name African People Congress
(APC) could just be the begining of the manifestation
of Gen. Buhari‘s description of INEC as per its natur
& essence of compromise. At the London key note
adress lecture, Gen. Buhari said about INEC: “ INEC
TOP ECHELONS ARE IMMERSED DEEP IN
CORRUPTION & ONLY WHOLESALE CHANGES AT
THE TOP COULD BEGING TO CURE MALIASE. WHAT
IS REQUIRED IA A GROUP OF INDEPENDENT
PEOPLE, PATRIOTIC & INCORRUPTIBLE, BUT WITH
THE CAPACITY TO HANDLE SUCH A STERENEOUS
ASSIGMENT OF CONDUCTING ELECTION IN
NIGERIA“. Else where to prove INEC allowing itself to
be compromise, Gen. Buhari cited an instance: “IN
ONE OF OUR COURT CASES, OPPOSITION PARTIES
CHALLENGED THE PATENTLY DISHONEST FIGURE
INEC ANNOUNCED & SUPBOENED THE BIOMETRIC
DATA IN COURT, INEC REFUSE TO DIVULGE THEM
ON THA LAUGHABLE EXCUSE OF NATIONAL
SECURITY“. About the judiciary & our judges, Gen.
Buhari said: “ IN A SHOW OF UNPRECEDENTED
DISHONESTY & UNPROFESSIONALISM, THE
PRESIDENT OF THE COURT OF APPEAL READ OUT
INEC FIGURES WHICH INEC REFUSE TO COME TO
COURT IN ORDER TO PROVE OR DEFEND THE
RESULT ACCEPTED BY THE COURT“. Perhaps, if
there is any Nigerian that still in doubt about Gen.
Buhari‘s description of our nation electoral body as
well as our judiciary & the judges from 2003 to date,
that person should oviously doubt about his
nationality. He could be a Nigearian living in yet
another different Nigeria. INEC has since ceased to
be independent.
