Former Chairman of the National Human Rights Commission, Chidi
Odinkalu, has warned that Nigeria will suffer the consequences if the
Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, mess with the Edo State
gubernatorial election.
Recall that former President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan,
made a similar call on Friday.
Goodluck urged INEC and security agencies to be professional
and neutral in discharging their responsibilities.
According to him, they must live up to expectations as an
unbiased umpire and inspire confidence in all actors through a transparent
voting process.
But in a post on his X handle on Saturday, Odinkalu
cautioned that there is hardly anywhere one can go to in Nigeria without
passing through Edo.
He, therefore, warned that there would consequences for the
entire nation if the election is mishandled by the INEC.
Odinkalu said : “If Mahmood Yakubu & @inecnigeria mess
with #EdoDecides2024 like they habitually do in deliberate manner, all of
#Nigeria will suffer it: there is hardly anywhere u can go to in Nigeria
without passing through Edo…. Not that the electoral bandit in charge of #INEC
much cares.”
