rejects this stratagems of INEC insist on 25,000 new polling units in the North
and 25,000 New polling units for the south… the die is cast for 2015 polls…
The INEC of the Nigerian federation held a well attended
stakeholders summit in Benin of the Nigerian federation to relate with all
political parties of the Nigerian federation interested in the 2015 general polls
and the INEC Rec of Edo state of Nigeria Hon Bartor Ghagil told all
stakeholders and political parties in
the Nigerian political turfs that INEC is set to conduct the 2015 polls in Nigeria
with new stratagems addressed to conduct the most credible polls in Edo state
and the Nigerian Federation come 2015 by the introductions of a credible Bio
Metric data systems that would eliminate double registrations of voters,
underage voters and all forms of electoral malpractices in the polls.
Secondly the amiable INEC REC of Edo state said that
customized ballot papers, ballot material and the ballot boxes would be
produced to make sure that no ballot material for one ward or lga could be used
for another..This is in fact ingenious as it would reduce rigging to the
minimum.
Permanent voter’s cards: Soon, he hinted that the permanent voters
card would be released which would be in form of the ATM Cards and could be
used for multi purposes of identification and would reduce the effects of
forging the voters’ cards and produce credible polls…
Again he hinted that INEC would introduce new 50,000 polling
units consisting of 500 voters nationwide and that the North would have 41,000
new polling units and the south 8000 new polling units…
The chairman SDP Edo state of Nigeria ,His Excellency Prince
Frank Ukonga,, Dr Isibor chairman Accord Party Edo state of Nigeria and National
Secretary of the party and other stockholders in the Southern Nigeria political
turfs rejects this new move of the INEC to create 41 000 new polling units for the North and 8000 new polling units
for the south, hinging their arguments on the fact that this could be a ploy
for the Northern Nigeria to continue to dominate the south to perpetuity after
the post Jonathan era of the Nigerian federation.. and that if 500 voters per
unit is the yardstick of measure per new polling unit it would have inadvertently
tilted the balance to over 20 million voters for the north and only 4 million
voters for the south …this is a sort of constitutional institutionalized stratagem
to always produce the president of the Nigerian federation from the North after
the post Jonathan era…and this is not acceptable to the southern stakeholders of
the Nigerian political turfs… This did not go down well with all the southern
stakeholders in the summit who insist on a 50/50 percent sharing ration between
the Northern Nigerian and Southern Nigeria,
