The Enemies of Electoral
Reform and El-Rufai’s Silly Outburst. by Atsar Terver

When former President Obasanjo recently declared in his
characteristically reckless manner that he was not aware of any
ongoing electoral reforms in the country, not many may have read the
evil intentions pregnant in those words. Coming at a time the Uwais
Report on Electoral Reforms was being widely debated by the public,
such a declaration from a former President meant either of two things,
namely that he was truly ignorant of political happenings around him
or that he was just expressing cynical apathy. The later seems more
plausible for a former head of state that he is. NigerianNews

achieve in three consecutive times since Jerry Rawlling’s revolution.NigerianNews
