A mother of five has claimed that her life is being threatened after sharing a video at her polling unit on election day.
The video showed how INEC officials were allegedly manipulating their results in Apapa, Lagos State.
In an update, she lamented that they wanted to eliminate her because she refused to negotiate or accept any form of incentive to take her video down.
She maintained that despite the threat to her life, the most important thing for her is the genuineness of the results being presented by INEC.
In her words: “Good afternoon guys I’m Eunice the labour party candidate for Apapa federal constituency in Lagos and I am the one that uploaded the video showing us how INEC officials were manipulating our results early this morning about 4, 5 a.m.
“The problem now is that they are threatening me they won’t eliminate me because I refuse to negotiate or accept any form of incentive to stand down my activities to help us”
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that one failed aspect of democracy in Nigeria is the conduct of elections. In most cases, the contests are handled by electoral commissions that are usually made up of cronies of the ruling party who are brought on board to ensure that their party‘ ‘sweeps’ the polls.
Painfully, there are no visible prospects in the horizon to suggest that the trend might change soon. Before now, most Nigerians believe whenever an election is fixed to hold in any local government area in the country, the expectation is that it would be rigged in favour of the ruling party.
