And if you mix these two experiences you\u2019ll be able to know the two sides and also to be able to understand where the issues are,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs activists, our thinking fundamentally differs from politicians. I\u2019m still trying to find out if there\u2019s any electoral reform Nigerian politicians cannot reconvent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk about the judiciary as the last hope of the common man, why are the political parties not the last hope of the common man, why is INEC not the last hope of the common man, why is the Presidency, the military, Senate and House of Reps not the last hope of the common man?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want a perfect judiciary in an imperfect system. In the field of activism, we\u2019ve two sets of ideas \u2013 this is wrong and this is right \u2013 politicians don\u2019t have that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect more from our judiciary. No president will make electoral reform that would lead to his downfall in office, only Jonathan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly Jonathan appointed a Chairman of INEC he never knew and never met.
