Electoral corruption is pretty tricky, difficult to prove – APC Chieftain

 

The countdown is on to the much talked about general election. The Independent National Electoral Commission has met with the 18 political parties offering them the cleaned up registered voter which is now well over 90 million.

Lagos is leading with a high number of registered voters followed by Kano and Kaduna.

INEC has said its election timetable is sacrosanct and it is not thinking of rescheduling.

The federal government is insisting last year said it has provided INEC with everything it will need for this forthcoming election.

INEC is meeting with security stakeholders. The military is promising that all hands will be on decked when showed that Nigeria is safe for the forthcoming election.

Stakeholders are also saying that things are much better than it was in 2015.

Speaking on the role that corruption is playing as an electoral issue, as most presidential candidates have also identified corruption as the big elephant in the room, National Youth Spokesman, Tinubu/Shettima Presidential Campaign Council, Aliyu Audu says it is pretty tricky when it comes to the issue of electoral corruption because it’s usually bothered on moral value of individuals and not necessarily legal.

He said there have been a lot of corruption allegations here and there, Some remote, some have been pushed forward and some of the people have supported their claim with some sort of evidence but it only just remains
for people to be aware of the characters and people on the ballots and help individuals make their decisions on how to vote going into the 2023 general election.

He said it is our responsibility to share information as far as it is correct and true, and help the majority of electorate make decision.

“The very one we’ve just been exposed to recently happens to be one that, many people who have followed the Polity from 1998 is very aware of, not just within the country, it’s been linked to some personnel, some public officials in the United States who by one link or another it’s connected to this”.

Speaking further, Mr Audu said what is good for the goose is good for the gander but a look at the two scenarios.

He said listening to the alleged audio made by a former aide to the PDP Vice Presidential candidate, one would not have doubts as to the authenticity of it.

He added that these are very serious allegations and while he does not think of a legal ground for anyone to pull him down, it is honorable, of such a person to come out and clear his name.

Nigeria, today, is ranked the second most corrupt country in West Africa after guinea.

It is the country’s second consecutive year of a downward spire.

Taking a look at the Transparency International’s Corruption Perception Index ranking, the latest ranking is expected on the last day of this year. To know how Nigeria has fit in the past year, well, the country score has dropped from 26 in 2019 to 25 in 2020 and 24 in 2021.

Government has debated over the years the accuracy of this figure and whether or not it reflects the true state of things within Nigeria.

Recall, Mr. President has said he has not even a foot inch of property outside the country and that he’s intending to stay back in Nigeria after he leaves office.
