Members of the Conference of Nigerian Political Parties (CNPP) Lagos State chapter have shown their displeasure with the Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, over the poor distribution of Permanent Voters’Cards, PVCs, in the state, stressing that he lacked the expected integrity needed to conduct a free and fair elections in Nigeria come 2015.
The group made this known in a press statement signed by the Chairman, Lagos State CNPP, Hon. Akionla Obadia, following an assessment of the first batch in 11 Local Governments council in the states.
“What borders us is the lacklustre performance of INEC, knowing well that Lagos is one of the most populous states based on population registration; therefore they ought to have been more prepared for this important exercise. For INEC to have come with kids gloves to face the enormous population of Lagos State is a disaster.”|
A visit to Mushin, Ajeromi Ifelodun, Badagry and Ikeja Local Governments as a case is a clear manifestation of INEC’s unpreparedness for a free and fair election in 2015” He explained
Obadia lamented that INEC appears to have been caught in the web, saying the body has a lot to explain in order to convince Nigerians that they are not rolling out Jonathan’s hidden agenda.
“We are confident that 2015 will roll out God’s agenda for Nigeria but INEC should not start complicating issues.
We, the CNPP in Lagos State therefore, appeal to the management of INEC to retrace their steps now and remember that Nigeria is larger than any minacious agenda.” He ended
