It was a miscalculation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe APC, proud of its power, tried to create problems in all the main opposition parties. The way INEC approved the PDP faction so quickly says a lot,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Reacting to concerns over the courts becoming more involved in deciding election results, Momodu said top government officials are trying to control the judiciary and are using economic problems to gain more political power.<\/p>\n<p>He said that trying to creategg a system where only one party is allowed or putting all power in one person\u2019s hands would eventually not work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHigh-level government officials are putting a lot of resources into the judiciary as part of their overall plan. When you use poverty as a weapon, people end up relying on getting rice given out to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really shocking that they want to turn Nigeria into a country ruled by just one party or one person.
