When President Olusegun Obasanjo, a Yoruba man, began scheming for a third term in office after the 2003 elections, the then Governor Bola Tinubu, also a Yoruba man, spearheaded the national resistance. Tinubu was in the vanguard of the efforts to defeat the obnoxious Third Term Bill, which was heavily funded by Obasanjo’s hatchet men in the National Assembly. Southwest progressive politicians were vocal in their opposition to the TTA Bill, with only a few within the PDP supporting Obasanjo’s unconstitutional move. Why didn’t Yoruba people unite in support of Obasanjo’s third-term plan? S’East kids, who obviously lack knowledge of the Nigeria’s political history, would come online and readily insult others. Let Akin Tollgate, for instance, openly criticised Peter Obi, whom he national supported, for lacking political strategy to win elections. No one needs a soothsayer to predict the outrage that would follow the post. You would see them shouting “bigotry” while deliberately overlooking the fact that the dumb Agulu Gbajue, despite his name, can never be equated to his tribe in political discussions.
“Desperate people do desperate things” Ordinarily their coalition should bring hope and excitement, but because they have no clear vision and alternative for Nigeria, nobody reckons with them. You would think with @PeterObi bringing in fake news CSO, fake TV anchors, fake movement of irrational and double standards Obidient they would create momentum, but anything fake hardly last. They have now resorted to blackmailing Nigeria and the Nigerian people in the eyes of the international community; anticipating hard and harsh treatment that would affect the lives and economy of ordinary Nigerians, so that Nigerians would be intimidated into voting them; that’s political banditry. But wait, can a people who invade a political party in a gestapo manner, take over the party structures by force and abduction the party, actually build opposition?
Chairing INEC is one of the most uncomfortable jobs in the Country.Whoever found himself on that Seat will have to receive missiles from the beginning to the end.From Fedeco,NEC to INEC,the story is thesame.Though forgotten,Prof Maurice Iwu received more insults than any INEC chair in our history.When Jega declared GEJ the winner in 2011,he was declared an enemy and a Satan in the North:When he declared Buhari the winner in 2015,everyone in our region sang his praises.Prof Mahmud is now resting,Amupitan is now the punchbag.The only person in our country who has ever agreed he lost election was GEJ.Our politics is that of you either win or you fight.That is what we are.Appoint an Angel as INEC Chair,he can only be safe in the hands of those who won.

My succinct and irrecoverable priority is simple. As the chairman of INEC I will work ardently to restore your trust and protect your vote. I understand that many Nigerians have lost confidence in the electoral process, and I am committed to changing that experience through our strategies. ~ Prof. J.O. Amupitan (SAN)
