THE COWARDICE IN LAWMAKERS’ BID TO SUBVERT POLITICAL WILL OF NIGERIANS!!!
It has become apparent that the hope for egalitarian and saner society is impossible, going by the action of the larger percentage of the National Assembly members (especially the Senators), who kicked against electronic transmission of electoral results in the forthcoming elections in Nigeria.
The cowardice of the unpopular personalities and representation of people’s mandate in the Senators are clearly pronounced to the amazement of electorates and all Nigerians, in all walks of life, across the globe.
Clearly, the political will of the people is being exchanged with unimaginable blows of non-challance, egocentrism, failure and retrogressive mindset of the uncelebrated lawmakers, who became so shameless to perpetuate their unwanted stay in the corridor of power.
Afraid of free, fair and credible polls, no doubt, most of them have thrown caution and decency to the wind, to deliberately jettison the path of truth, the voice of their people and an outstanding factor of rapid advancement in Nigeria’s political system.
Definitely, if electronic voting can be allowed in the Electoral Act amendment, why and how is electronic transmission of results become defective?. The scenario is simply an affirmation of the lawmakers’ inability to live up to the expectations of their electorates, as to true representation.
Certainly, most Nigerian lawmakers could not withstand the possibility of reduction in electoral frauds which, in the first instance, helped them into their current position, that the electronic transmission of results intends to achieve. And they also considered it a strong stumbling block to their returns into their respective Chambers in the next political dispensation.
Without mincing words, it is an act of cowardice, indolence and shame, that the lawmakers rejected the passage of that specific clause in the Electoral Act, despite the loud clamour of the masses to effect a positive change, at least once, for the sake of history and posterity.
However, sooner than later, Nigerians are fully prepared to free themselves from the shackles of maladministration and misrepresentation of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) to a government with listening ears and human face, come 2023.
