Associate Professor and Director, Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, Dr. Sam Amadi, yesterday, said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) deliberately decided to compromise the 2023 general election.
Amadi, who was a guest speaker/lecturer at the second edition of New National Star Breakfast Meeting which held at Top Rank Galaxy Abuja, with the topic: “2023 General Election: A PostMortem”, lamented that the electoral umpire was provided with all it needed to conduct a very transparent election.
He said despite the early warning and red flags raised by the Civil Society, INEC continued to reassure Nigerians that it would conduct the most credible election in the history of the country only to switch off its server, when it mattered most.
He lamented that the electoral umpire seemed to have abdicated its responsibility to the judiciary, adding that elections were supposed to have less judicial interventions as it is the people that were supposed to elect leaders through the ballot papers and not through judicial pronouncements.
“INEC has destroyed the safeguards of the elections. INEC has capacity to improve on its performance 80 per cent, INEC deliberately chose to run a very flawed election. It is not technology, it is not logistic problem, it is a deliberate plan to rig the election. The biggest weakling in this election is INEC not politicians. I was shouting that INEC may betray everybody, I had intelligence and I know that ultimately, INEC will fail and INEC failed.

Recent reaction by Chief Dr. Patrick Osagie Eholor otherwise known as Ultimate Equal, the Father of Nigerian Students-FONS and the Global President of One Love Foundation, in a phone interview with him, speaking from Shanghai, China, he said:
"About the ministerial nominees, especially former Governor of Rivers State, Mr. Nyesom Wike who once altered that Labour Party won the presidential election, the aliens do not conduct election in Nigeria, Nigerians do, the professors and lecturers, well educated people.
However, talking about Mr. Wike who is a drunkard, anything can happen when you drink, therefore when the drunkard say things most times, they say the truth. Wike said the truth but now he was nominated as the minister."
"Moreover, let's talk Akpabio, who publicly announced on Nigerian Television Authority, the Senate president refered to the huge amount of money to the senators 'some tokens' but still yet to approve N8,000 for the citizens.i will direct this to the Nigerian Youths to wake up, peaceful protest needs to be staged in order to get things rightly, these leaders has no good plan for you, they do not care Nigerians but only their ambitions."
"Thank you so much, Senator Darlington from Labour party for drilling Festus Keyamo who is disgruntled, Keyamo spent 53 Billion Naira as a junior minister without indices, facts and he was so arrogant when he was asked questions, these are the set of people leading. Keyamo, Wike and Akpabio as case study."
"Nothing about him is verifiable, you are in trouble
Education is not verifiable
Age is not verifiable
Date of birth is not verifiable
Place and state of birth and state of origin is not verifiable
Is that the leaders that is going to turn things around for us Nigerians?
It is not about criticism but it is about constructive criticism."
"Nigeria youths, you have the whole world in your hands.
That statement Akpabio made is enough for you all to match into National Assembly and ask some questions and take back what belongs to you.
The great God is not coming from the sky to give your rights, your rights is here on Earth, you most fight for it by every single civilized means."
