“Sixth Nigerian state election overturned for fraud” goes the headline on Reuters.
Yes! This time it’s Enugu state:
A Nigerian court annulled the election of a state governor on Friday in the sixth such ruling since flawed and violent polls last April.
The tribunal in the southeastern state of Enugu canceled the election of Governor Sullivan Chime and his deputy on the grounds of gross electoral malpractice and non-compliance with the Electoral Act, Justice Samuel Otta said.
Isn’t it odd that ‘Professor’ Iwu the electoral commission boss- the agency that supervised (or orchestrated) those annulled elections is still employed?
Last annulment was Adamawa.
Well step by step, slowly but surely the results are trickling in. Anyway the deadline is next month so they like it or not, all shall soon be revealed.
