"The Nigerian Senate has today confirmed Nineteen (19) nominees as Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC)."

Certificate to steal people votes and to sell them to the highest bidder. You can't trust Nigerians in any position of authority. Or can you?

Have they removed those names with questionable issues? Those who were accused of being card carrying members of APC?

They didn't.

Petitions were written against some people;

Queen-Elizabeth Agwu was allegedly suspended as Accountant-General in Ebonyi in 2016.

Pauline Onyeka
(Former INEC-ICT head in Imo State) and is allegedly known for wuruwuru.

Sylvia Agu (younger sister to the APC Deputy National Chair, SE)

Bashir contested for the Sokoto APC Primary in 2015.

PDP is a very foolish opposition.

These loyalists will be in charge of the elections you are contesting and you don't turn up some heat on them, scrutinize them and delay the confirmation.

I really hope INEC as an institution takes steps for 2023 to prevent these people from being used to subvert the will of the people.

The last step to make INEC truly independent is to grant the ability to nominate their components by a neutral body or even the Judiciary, as the executives and legislatures are the ones partaking in the electioneering process and should not be selecting the umpires.

With this, I fear for 2023. Not just the rigging, but the fall-out if it happens.


A close eye should be placed on the states these people are posted to. IMO state especially as their plan was previously unravelled.

Both the committee and the nominees are frm these party, so they won't see anything wrong with it.

Hopefully, Buhari will live up to his promise of ensuring a free and fair election

Not yet, it is under the powers of the INEC Chairman.

He will likely do so ASAP.
