He said some bandits and insurgents may take over some states, making it difficult for the poor masses to exercise their voting rights.<\/p>\n

Prof. Joel. a former lecturer in the Department of Political Science noted that there is no how a country with everyday banditry attacks, killings, stealing of billions of Naira, abduction of human beings, and inflation will conduct free and fair elections.<\/p>\n

He said the country was a bit better in 2015, as bandits were not too pronounced, yet a sitting president failed the election.<\/p>\n

He equally told DAILY POST, that even if there will be elections, they will be hijacked by the ruling class, using all the powers within their reach, to install their preferred candidate.<\/p>\n
