They believe that it was the will of Anambra people that prevailed.<\/p>\n<p>They are of the opinion that despite the fact that the commission failed in some areas such as the failure of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System, BVAS, late arrival of materials to polling units, late arrival of officials and even non-arrival of INEC staff in several polling units, the election was generally free and fair.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking to DAILY POST about the performance of the electoral umpire, Barrister Nnamdi Ezidinma described the process as relatively free and fair.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, \u201cFor me, it[the governorship election]was relatively free and fair save to say that INEC still have enough to do in preparation for 2023.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the Supreme Court judgment that installed Hope Uzodinma as Imo State Governor, Barr. Ezidinma added, \u201cImo State and what happened there can\u2019t be taken to draw analogy with the election in Anambra because Anambraians are wiser than Imo people. Buhari and Malami have spoilt everything in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also speaking on the governorship polls, Dr. Ikechukwu Amaefula, an Anambra-born Abuja based political analyst, expressed worries over the conduct of the election by INEC. According to him, INEC has not properly put its house in order.<\/p>\n<p>In his words, \u201cHow come INEC did not properly put its tools to test before using them for an election as important as this? I\u2019m not talking about the election being free and fair.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI strongly believe what happened in Anambra was the will of the people of the state. But many people, as I understand, did not vote. The BVAS did not function on many occasions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that was where INEC failed. And this brings us to 2023. I think the Commission must go back to its drawing board now that the Senate has passed into law the electronic transmission of election results. They must conduct elections Nigerians should be proud of.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHow can APC say the election was rigged? This was exactly what they did in Imo State, making Hope Uzodinma, who came third or fourth in the election to became Governor overnight through the Supreme Court. I\u2019m pleading with President Muhammadu Buhari, the whole of Anambra people are pleading with him, \u2018 please don\u2019t let Imo State scenario repeat in Anambra.\u2019 It would be disastrous. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Reuben Onyenso, a public affairs analysts said, \u201cTalking about where INEC failed in the conduct of the election; let me first of all point out the fact that many people didn\u2019t come out of their houses for the fear of IPOB notwithstanding they withdrew the sit-at-home order at the dying minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen again, as we did see, INEC used the election to test some of its technologies and this also increased the number of people who were not able to vote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wouldn\u2019t actually say they failed because to me, the election was free and fair. The few Anambraians that came out chose their next governor and that\u2019s the most important thing to the people. I think testing will continue in two other governorship elections in the South West before 2023.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy fear is that now that APC has started complaining and crying foul where there\u2019s none, the President must not allow his integrity to be dragged again like what happened in Imo State. Anambra people have decided and their decisions must be respected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the Anambra State governorship polls, Cynthia Mbamalu, Director, Programme of YIAGA, Africa, one of the major observers of the election, said, \u201cOne of the major heights of that election is that the process is getting better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople need to understand and appreciate the fact that our electoral process is improving, votes are counting and it\u2019s difficult to manipulate the process now. It doesn\u2019t mean there are no challenges. We had logistic challenges, deployment issues and all of that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe BVAS is one technological device that would ensure transparency in the process because the BVAS, what it did wasn\u2019t just to accredit and authenticate voters but also to upload results to the election portal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On lessons learnt from the election ahead of the 2023, Cynthia said, \u201cThis election has given INEC the sense on the challenges they need to work on. First is the technology.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe deployment of technology for the election must be looked at again, because the challenges we saw with the BVAS, imagine if it was a national election where there will be a little more tension and pressure; that level of delay would have been catastrophic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo INEC would need to ensure that every technological glitch and other challenges with that technology are duly addressed and perfected.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen issues around the management of polling units. INEC created new PU but there\u2019s a level of imbalance in the distribution of voters to PUs. Some PUs have few voters while some had 750, 1000 to 3000 voters; so that is problematic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo INEC has that opportunity to review its Polling Units. Also they should build confidence in the process. Voters turnout in Anambra was really low 10.10% and 10.27%.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd for the national, it is a joint effort of the electoral commission, the media practitioners and political parties. We need to start preaching the message of participation as a fundamental right and democratic responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe live in a country where there is mistrust and we question everything. Nigerians, we have trust challenges. So in that aspect, some people think there is the tendencies there\u2019ll be federal might. Forget about federal might and focus on coming out to vote and your vote will count.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think at the end, there was no justification for that because if you look at the process and outcome you\u2019ll see we have the All Progressives Grand Alliance winning the election and the next party after that was the Peoples Democratic Party not even the All Progressives Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo at the end, what matters now \u2026as I told you is that the system is getting better. Come out and as you vote, the actual vote you cast at the Polling Unit is what will count.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Also, a staff of the Independent National Electoral Commission who pleaded anonymity told DAILY POST that the Anambra governorship election and other upcoming ones are being used to test-run some new innovations ahead of the 2023 national election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne thing I want to assure you is that the Commission is working towards perfection. People are too fast to judge and pick out faults but they forget that mistakes must be made which we have to learn from and grow,\u201d he said, referring to the criticisms being thrown at the Commission over the conduct of the Anambra election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Anambra election has come and gone but there were progresses and lessons learnt. It was to me the freest and fairest election not to say that there were no challenges. We encountered some difficulties in several polling units while our staff tried to make use of the BVAS especially.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut we have learnt some lessons and we\u2019ll learn more in the coming elections in 2022 and before the 2023 general elections, we would have perfected this technology, review and balance most polling units where there are irregularities. That\u2019s all I have to say for now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/nigeria\">Nigeria<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Nigeria.
