NIGERIA VOTES 2011
After the initial postponement, Nigeria’s general elections finally commenced on 9th April 2011, with Parliamentary elections! A cross section of local and international observers and election monitors has applauded the Independent Nigerian Electoral Commission (INEC) for the above-board conduct of the exercise! Indeed, results for the polls have been, to say the least, unexpected and surprising; indicating that maybe the wishes of the electorate may be the sole factor in the process this time around!
While INEC should be commended, it is pertinent to state for the record that the journey has only begun and we must remain vigilant, to consolidate on these gains achieved thus far!
With the all-important presidential elections slated for the 16th April 2011, one can only hope that INEC will consistently improve on its act and deliver credible, free and fair elections at the end of this electoral season!
