An analyst Dr. Proper Edoja has urged a former National Chairman of the PDP, Uche Secondus to refrain from casting aspersion on the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Dr. Edoja gave the charge on ATN politics while commenting on the
allegation by Chief Secondus that INEC is on a mission to destroy Nigeria’s
democracy. Dr. Edoja charged the former PDP boss to objectively critise the
INEC, adding that the flaws observed during the elections were due to
resistance to change by politicians.
“That INEC is distroying Nigeria, I totally disagree with that. He
should rather put his prayer to strategic criticism. More positive criticism. A
change has been initiated, it has been giving a legal framework, that it is not
working smoothly as it were, is as a result of resistance,” he said.
He said the changed introduce by INEC to improve on the 2023 general
election took Nigerian politicians by surprise, hence, their resolve to
sabotage the process.
He said, “Were Nigerians politicians at peace with the change that was
initiated? No. They didn't know that this is the document they were signing
into law. They didn't know that this is the extent the document will be
affecting their ambition when the presidency was giving his assent.”
Secondus, who clocked 68-year yesterday, said he was spending his birthday
anniversary in supplication to God to save this country from the atrocities of
INEC.
