THE Yoruba socio-political organisation, Afenifere, yesterday said that if the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC goes ahead to conduct the Febuary 14 general election with almost 30 million voters cards yet to be distributed, the exercise will not be credible.

Rising from a four-hour meeting in Akure, the country home of its Chairman, Chief Reuben Fasoranti, Afenifere, which called on Nigerians not to vote for any candidate who is not in support of the implementation of the National Conference report, lamented that “as at today, over 15 million voters have not collected their cards.’’

Its Publicity Secretary, Yinka Odumakin said: “There are 14 million voters cards that are yet to arrive the country. If we put them together it is almost half of the total electorate that are yet to collect their voter’s cards.’’

In like manner, the International Society for Civil Liberties & the Rule of Law (Intersociety) alerted the Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis; UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-moon and 11 Foreign Missions of looming trouble in Africa’s most populous country as a result of INEC’s alleged moves to disenfranchise 35 million registered voters.

This came as the European Union Election Observation Mission, EUEOM, attributed the problems bedevilling Nigeria’s electoral process to what it described as the failure of government to implement the election reform recommendations it prepared for the country after the 2011 general election.

The foreign organisation regretted that out of the 50 recommendations it prepared for the Nigerian authorities, following the 2011 polls, only one, adoption of the freedom of information law, was adhered to.

Meanwhile, a renowned security expert, Dr. Ona Ekhomu, has called on the Federal Government to postpone the February 2015 general elections in the North-eastern states of Adamawa, Borno and Yobe to reduce the loss of lives and wanton destruction of property and allow the military complete its counter-terrorism operations in the zone
