The off-cycle elections in Imo, Kogi, and Bayelsa were another big joke by INEC as expected and INEC’s N305 billion budget and a questionable 2023 Election are more than enough for mass political apathy in Nigeria. The excitement over months and weeks of private and public assurances by INEC leadership headed by Professor Yakubu, that INEC to deliver free and fair elections backed by the new electoral law and the use of the Biometric Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) that mandated real live transmission of election results from the polling units as also outlined by INEC guidelines all came to empty promises…

– By Ralphs Okey Nwosu, National Chairman ADC Many may not have heard of Mrs Salomey Abu or may have forgotten her. She was one of many casualties of the dangerous, crooked and murderous twist that Kogi politics has become. She was a politically active Igala woman from Ochadamuihe town in Ofu local government area of the state.

Mrs Abu was burnt alive…

ADDRESS BY CHIEF RALPHS OKEY NWOSU ON 13TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2023 You will all agree with me, I hope, that it has been a hell of a time in our polity during the campaigns and since after the general elections.
