JUST BEFORE WE PROTEST THE OUTCOME OF #NIGERIADECIDES2023

By Chima Christian

As initially warned, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has delivered what many Nigerians have come to describe as a “sham.” All careful analysis pointed us to this endpoint. Again, I am more disappointed with the leadership of the opposition political parties, their presidential candidates and campaign councils than I am with INEC about this charade of an election.

IF WE DON'T ACT NOW NIGERIA'S 2023 CENSUS WILL HAVE MORE DISASTROUS OUTCOME THAN THE GENERAL ELECTIONS - CHIMA CHRISTIAN

👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 My name is Chima Christian, a public policy analyst. I am writing to propose that you consider using your platform to call for the postponement of the national census exercise scheduled to hold between March 29 and April 2, 2023.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Appeal Court, will, tomorrow Wednesday, March 8, rule on the application filed by INEC to be allowed to reconfigure the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) it used for the 2023 presidential election. Labour Party's Peter Obi, has argued, through his lawyers, that allowing INEC to wipe out the data on the BVAS will affect the substance of his case against INEC's criminal manipulation of Nigeria's electoral systems and processes.

#NigeriaDecides2023: Given what is at stake, it will be reckless to rely on mere assurances - Chima Christian

There are two critical success factors in any election; voter mobilisation and election results management. This is even more so for developing countries where... ...institutions are not yet robust enough to withstand the twin evil of internal compromises and external pressures.

2023: INEC may have technically tampered with the choice of ordinary Nigerians - Chima Christian

I took a detailed look at the voter registration data released by @inecnigeria covering its June 2021 — July 2022 Continuous Voter Registration Exercise. Focusing solely on voter invalidation data, I thought I saw a pattern that was too difficult to ignore. So I compressed some of my findings in the attached infograph.

Mbazulike Amaechi worked for peace, so sad it didn't come in his time — Chima Christian

“Mr President, I want you to be remembered as a person who saw Nigeria burning, and you quenched the fire.” Those were the exact words of Chief Mbazulike Amaechi during the visit of select elderstatesmen of Igbo extraction to President Muhammadu Buhari in November, 2021.

Though belated, we must thank the political leadership of the south-east, for deeming it necessary to float Ebubeagu – our regional policing outfit. I have carefully observed our leaders' choice of words in the communique issued to that effect. If that communique is a pointer to the operational efficiency of the group and the boldness needed to tackle issues frontally, then the prevailing cynicism is partly justified.

OBIANO AT 7: IN OKEKE, ANAMBRA GOVT. IS STARVING ITSELF TO DEATH

The collective tag on Gov. Obiano's administration may not allow for a full appreciation of this matter. But, to its credit, Obiano's government attracted and retained quite a number of talents. Some were given unfettered opportunities to soar. Others met a different politics of the workplace.

Personally, I consider the under-utilization of Deputy Governor Nkem Okeke to be one of Gov. Obiano's pronounced human resource failings.

LEAVE ATIKU ALONE, GO AND BEG NIGERIANS

All these people, including several high-powered delegations, "begging" Atiku Abubakar to accept this brazen subversion of the wishes of Nigerians seem not to understand that the issue has gone beyond @atiku.

#Thread As it stands now, @atiku is a mere representation of the collective aspiration of the people for a #BetterNigeria.

Dear President @MBuhari, welcome to #Anambra - your state of campaign rallies

If everything happens as planned Mr. President, you will set your feet in Anambra - your state of campaign rallies - today.

#Thread
#PMBInAnambra Your Excellency, before you came back to become an elected president of the Federal Republic, there were dozens of events that offered you compelling reasons to pay visit to the Light of the Nation, but you found excuses to stay away.
