Elections in Nigeria: INEC and Bayelsa in perspective

Elections in Nigeria now seems to be a war between two political parties.  The Bayelsa State governorship election  really is an example. According to reports, the elections was marred by both verbal and physical fights among their supporters. A lot of violence actions were recorded, killing of innocent citizens who came out to vote, even  the abduction of electoral officials and ballot box snatching in Southern Ijaw Local Government Area  one of the state’s eight LGAs. It was also recorded that past President Goodluck Jonathan and his wife’s first attempt at accreditation at about 8:45a.m was unsuccessful on account of malfunctioning card readers.

it was recorded that when elections could not be concluded in Southern Ijaw it had to be continued on the Sunday which as at around 12.46pm PDP raised an alert that APC plot to rig the election. The leadership of (PDP) said that the APC and the military have connived to rig the elections in Southern Ijaw.

We need to pray for a day we have a peaceful voting in Nigeria. So from the results recovered, what’s the current status of the election saga?  According to reports out of the eight local governments in Bayelsa state, seven LGA’s has been collated and PDP leads in six while APC only won in one which is the Brass LGA where the APC candidate hails from. Even at that INEC have declared the election inconclusive because of what happened at Ijaw South LGA, so we all keep our fingers crossed and watch.


 INEC! Inconclusive election again? The trends this morning tagged INEC as “inconclusive electoral committee”. How true is that?
There is need to improve and get the citizens a better way and method of voting without stories, its time government provide them with good securities, equipments.
