The United States and other Watchers have described the last postponement of the Nigerian elections as “political interference.”
The Jonathan campaign is obviously working on either getting another postponement or getting the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof. Attahiru Jega removed. All you need to know this is google the words “Ayo Fayose.” On the postponement, the Jonathan campaign is looking at using technicalities. Young Democratic Party (YDP) to the rescue.
The INEC has been ordered by a Federal High Court in Abuja to register a new political party, Young Democratic Party. The new party (YDP) is insisting that INEC must have its name on the ballot for the March 28 polls or postpone the elections again. A lot of people have been suspecting foul play. They probably not need look too far. One of the main faces behind YDP who also doubles as their spokesperson is Mr. Ugo Nwofor. He is the Publicity Secretary of the sham party. He was the one that addressed the press and gave INEC two options; that INEC reprints its ballot papers to accommodate the YDP or “INEC should postpone the elections to accommodate our party” Mr. Ugo Nwofor said specifically.
But Mr. Ugo Nwofor has a history with Goodluck. He had apparently published a book on president Jonathan’s life. You can see the image of the book below. You’d see “Lucky” in his book represents Goodluck. You can be sure that if you dig deeper, this person’s efforts at having INEC postpone the polls may just be an effort to ensure his “Lucky” character continues to stay in power. The summary of Mr. Nwofor’s book certainly captures the same story President Jonathan told of himself during his 2011 campaign. Does this completely prove Mr. Ugo Nwofor is working for President Jonathan? I don’t think so. Does this raise an eyebrow about the ulterior purpose and reason behind YDP’s formation? Of course it does. This reeks of desperation and I am not even referring to Mr. Ugo Nwofor here.
