Ruth Kadiri threatens to sue INEC
Kemi Filani reported hours ago that Nollywood actress, Ruth Kadiri threatened to sue INEC over the electoral process in Nigeria.
She also questioned NEC’s approach on the release of results in different polling units.
The mother of two expressed her belief that politicians cannot rig elections without the help of INEC officials. She said that the electoral body should provide election results based on polling units rather than on a state or national level. This would allow citizens to verify the results and ensure their votes count easily.
She wrote: “INEC has proven to be the most fraudulent; politicians cannot rig the election without INEC. And I wonder how we have missed the point all this while…I know the number of my polling unit same way with every other person. So if INEC is giving us results, they should give us results based on our polling unit, the worst that can happen is that they will tell us certain number of votes are ineligible. This rigging of election will not work, we will sue INEC”.
Soso Soberekan threatens to sue INEC
Kemi Filani reported that music executive, Soso Soberekan threatened to sue the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over their incompetence.
Expressing disappointment at the commission, Soso Soberekon noted how officials of the commission arrived late to their polling units and were disorganized. As a result, he vowed to take them to court.
He wrote: “I am taking INEC to Court. A lot of Nigerians are not able to vote due to late arrivals and disorganized arrangements by @inecnigeria and it’s officials”.
Kate Henshaw calls out INEC for disenfranchising her and 20 others
Kemi Filani reported that actress, Kate Henshaw had called out the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for disenfranchising her and twenty others in her polling unit.
Taking to microblogging platform Twitter to give an update about how the election is going, the veteran lamented that she has not been able to cast her vote because the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) (an electronic device designed to read Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) and authenticate voters) says she is not registered.
Henshaw further disclosed that she found her name on the register on the wall and on INEC register however, she can’t vote. She called on the person in charge of INEC in Lagos to find a quick solution to the problem.
While noting that she won’t take things easy with INEC because they are playing with her destiny, she called on international media bodies like Cable Network News (CNN), and British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) to take note of what is happening.
She said: “You people are playing with my destiny. INEC eh! I registered, I transferred my card, i picked up my PVC now you BVAS is saying I’m not registered. But I have seen my name on the register on the wall and in your website. What are you guys doing? Its like you people want problem with me. INEC, CNN, BBC anybody watching this election from out side of the country, INEC is playing games. its not just me, there are so many people who have not been found on the BVAS. Please whomever is in charge of INEC Lagos, You need to come and sought it out here”.
Nah! INEC is the most irresponsible organization.
