2023 election: INEC kidnapped future, hope for better Nigeria – Anglican Archbishop

Anglican Archbishop of Owerri Ecclesiastical Province, Most Rev. David Onuoha, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of kidnapping the future and hope for a better Nigeria in its conduct of the 2023 presidential election.

He stated this at the weekend at the Cathedral Church of St . Paul’s, Ezeoke Nsu, Ehime Mbano Local Government Area of Imo State, saying despite all the promises and assurances of a free, fair and credible poll, INEC sabotaged the exercise.

He said the usual slang of ‘declare me winner and let him go to court’ indicated a major flaw in the country’s electoral jurisprudence.

He urged judicial officers handling petitions arising from the polls to be bold and courageous in the discharge of their duties to save the country from anarchy.

Onuoha, who congratulated Nigerians for exercising their right to choose their leaders in the last general elections, noted how the excercise gulped nearly N400 billion of tax payers money.

He said: “INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, should be declared number one enemy of Nigeria. I recommend a national award of Grand Enemy of the Federal Republic (GEFR) for him. In saner climes, he would have either resigned or arrested and charged for sabotage of Nigerian electoral process. An ample opportunity to get things right and reposition Nigeria for greatness was sacrificed on the altar of greed, deceit, selfishness and impunity. Despite all the promises and assurances, INEC, to the embarrassment, astonishment and bewilderment of all sabotaged the polls.

“I equally commended Nigerians for their maturity in handling the aftermath of the election by rejecting the option of demonstrations and violence and choosing to be civil. Now that the matters are before the courts, we passionately appeal to our judicial officers to endeavour to be fair and just in handling the petitions before them.

“We expect that falsehood will be exposed and truth upheld. It may be necessary at this stage, to find out why politicians would always be too happy to ask the aggrieved to go to court, after perpetrating obvious electoral fraud.

“The usual slang of ‘declare me winner and let him go to court’, indicates a major flaw in our electoral jurisprudence. This is because the court, in most cases, has confirmed those electoral fraud and manipulations, thereby giving a stamp of authority to illegality. We are worried that the high level of impunity witnessed in our society today, especially in electoral matters, portends grave danger to our nation, if not arrested urgently. The civil disobedience that might follow any attempt to stamp judicial authority on the scam, the 2023 presidential election turned out to be, will not be good for anyone. We must always remember that make oppression possible, also make struggle for liberation inevitable. We therefore, call for a review of our laws, with a view to removing any provision that may encourage evil and embolden wrong doers. Judicial officers must be bold and courageous in the discharge of their duties to save this society from anarchy,” he said.

Call him infidel if you like

Very unfortunate

A true religious leader is not supposed to be partisan. But what we have in this country are just business men both in Pentecostal and orthodox churches.

labour party bishop

How did these thing become an Archbishop?


He should resign his post and join LP

If Obi that lost the election was declared the winner, it would have been victory for democracy. This Obidents bishop is a liar and pagan. I have never seen a reasonable obidents

Well said! INEC under Yakubu have become a criminal electoral umpire perpetuating electoral heist with glee and gusto.

“IPOB Bishop”

“Tinubu won fair and square”

We, his Owambe boys, are happy.

We can’t wait for him to be sworn in so that we will be sniffing cocaine in the streets of Abuja.

If e vex you, go to court.

Many centuries ago, the Jews asked the government to set free a criminal but at the same time asked for Jesus to be killed. They declared that the blood of the innocent man should be on them and their generations.

History repeating itself
In 2023, they rigged out a good man for a drug baron. 2000 years gone, human beings have not changed.

Thank you my Lord. Those youths supporting evil and calling black White I pity most.
The are complaining about Buhari but are supporting another Buhari extended regime. I spit on them.
