The alleged failed plots to remove the heads of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu and the Central Bank of Nigeria, Mr. Godwin Emefiele, ahead of the forthcoming general election should remind Nigerians that the price to pay for liberty is vigilance, writesThe failed plots were certainly no hare-brained project by nitwits. The subterfuge, timing, forces enlisted and possibly, the funding scope were not ordinary but showed some sophistication.
Last week, the blunt-talking national chairman of the Zenith Labour Party Chief Dan Nwanyanwu cut to the heart of the matter when he asserted in a national television interview that “The threats against the 2023 general election are potent. We have seen a lot of insecurity across the country, the latest being the attempts by some politicians to truncate the use of the BIVAS and IReV and also taking some legal processes to get the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, to be removed from office.
The ZLP national chairman also held that, “We must commend the judiciary so far for stoutly standing against the frivolous court cases and ensuring plots don’t see the light of the day.” The claimant had sought among other things an order of mandatory injunction directing and compelling the INEC Chairman to recuse, excuse and exclude himself and or step down as the Chairman of INEC pending the investigation and consideration of the various allegations against him by the various law enforcement agencies. The quirky claimant also sought an order of Court barring the INEC Chairman from holding or assuming any public office for a period of 10 years.
