The Pan Yoruba Socio-Political Group, Afenifere, has lamented that by the Supreme Court judgement on the 2023 Presidential election, the billions of naira expended on electoral reforms have become a waste.
This was contained in a communique issued after the group’s meeting held at the Isanya Ogbo, Ogun State, country home of its national leader, Chief Ayo Adebanjo.
“Unfortunately, by the Supreme Court decision the electoral reforms achieved through the agitations of Nigerians for quality control through technological devices and the billions of Naira spent on the infrastructures in that regard is now wasted. “Except this is done now and quickly all the errors that occasioned the type of electoral shenanigans witnessed during the 2023 General elections and the technical judgement by the Supreme Court legitimising same will fester ad infitum.NAF to adopt elements of artificial intelligence, others - CAS, Air Marshal Abubakar
On insecurity, the group “observed the alarming resurgence of insecurity occasioned by the activities of armed cattle herders terrorising farmers, killing, maiming the people and raping women for which some of the host communities are no longer comfortable living with the killer guests. “No matter is better than now to consider that State Governments be allowed to play greater roles in the security of their states by establishing their internal policing mechanism.
“The Executive is unable to convince the people of the need for a yacht worth billions of Naira beyond ostentatious living.
