@UnkleAyo @Ugochuk53599125 Rational political choices sit between esteem and actualisation needs. Nigeria has been configured by its leaders to struggle around physiological and safety needs. So, a country with over 60% multidimensionally poor people, inherently lacks the capacity for rational politics.

@Bond_not_james Three folks - Bola (state capturist, plays god, tainted wealth); Atiku (former VP whose boss isn’t proud of, and mainly returns to Nigeria during elections); Obi (on the ground; antecedents of prudence & radically investing in public good). Why do evil people flourish here?

Nigerians should know that sectors like aviation & banking are elite-serving sectors, hence govt ensures they are most efficient. Compare this to education, health, & power that serve public interests. This is called “predatory governance”, the tragedy of commons! Think!

@fkeyamo Being gullible is Nigerians receiving N36 million from an insufficient N218 billion allocated to capital expenditure for health, while the President spends over N100 billion on a jet and plans to spend over N800 billion on an undemocratic election next year. Horrible!!

Spineless, Sir! After 9/11, George Bush said, “Freedom itself was attacked this morning by a faceless coward, and freedom will be defended […] make no mistake, the US will hunt down & punish those responsible […] we will take justice to them, or bring them to justice”. Bola!!

Theories of social contract & rule following: The rule culture among Nigerians reflects compliance culture among political elites. Also, it is a subconscious defiance against a country that cares less about its citizens. “Self-enforcement” is a response to political orderliness.

I watched @seyilaw1 on The Honest Bunch. Debating the uninformed usually ends like this. If your idea of a better economy is strictly about the price of rice and garri, stay off the stage. He was loud but lacked substance; I’m surprised Seylaw even agreed to that debate.

Too daft and lazy! Even the BHCPF suffered over 70% deficit. Nigeria could not meet its target to self-finance key vaccines by 2021, leading to an extended 2028 deadline by GAVI. Yet it falters. Justifying releasing less than 0.5% of Capital Health Budget is foolish and evil.

₦36 million for Health in 2025: A delusion taken too far. If you believe the Federal Ministry of Health only spent ₦36m on projects last year, you’ve been served a massive plate of misinformation. Let’s talk about how the Ministry actually works. - First, the "₦36m" figure.

In Nigeria, sectors with the least service to elite interests pathetically underperform. Reduced elite-dependency = Collapse of sector (e.g, health, education, power) Increased elite-dependency = Flourishing of sector (e.g., banking and telecoms) Predatory governance!

ENDING THE CYCLE - WHY ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION SHOULD BE ENSHRINED IN THE ELECTORAL ACT BEFORE 2027 Nigeria's electoral framework has been plagued by persistent legal uncertainty, forcing courts to determine election outcomes. This uncertainty stems from a fundamental failure: the absence of strong regulatory processes backed by express statutory authority. With every election cycle, we rush to amend the Electoral Act. Yet we continue to grapple with the same challenges, leading to continued rounds of amendments. This vicious cycle must end. The 2023 election exposed a critical gap in our electoral legal framework. Despite INEC's deployment of the IReV portal for electronic transmission of results, the Supreme Court ruled that this innovation lacks legal force. The Court held that because electronic transmission is not expressly provided by the Electoral Act 2022 (appearing only in INEC's Regulations and Guidelines), it is not legally binding. And that the IReV portal serves merely for public viewing and is not admissible evidence of results in election petitions. The message was unmistakable: without explicit statutory provision, electronic transmission remains optional and legally inconsequential, no matter how transparent or efficient it may be. This legal gap creates an insurmountable evidentiary burden in election petitions. The late Justice Pat Acholonu, in Buhari v. Obasanjo (2005), doubted that a petitioner could successfully challenge a presidential election. He noted that a petitioner needed to call approximately 250,000 to 300,000 witnesses across electoral constituencies in the country, and even if successful, the president-elect would have completed the four-year tenure, rendering any victory "an empty victory bereft of any substance." This prophecy has proven tragically accurate. No presidential election petition has ever succeeded since 1999. This is precisely because the evidentiary proof of results verification from over 176,000 polling units nationwide is a practical impossibility within the short timelines allowed by law. History offers a proven solution. The June 12, 1993 election remains Nigeria's gold standard for electoral credibility, not because of sophisticated technology, but because of uncompromising transparency. The Option A4 system ensured immediate, open verification at polling units, where voters, party agents, and observers could witness and confirm results before any collation occurred. Despite entirely manual processes, this transparency generated unprecedented public confidence. Both local and international observers acclaimed it as Nigeria's freest and fairest election. If manual transparency could achieve such credibility in 1993, imagine the transformative impact of real time electronic transmission in our digital age in 2026! It would combine immediate verification with tamper proof digital records, delivering the same transparency with far greater efficiency, security, and verifiability. The current legislative process represents a monumental opportunity for the National Assembly to resolve this fundamental issue before the 2027 general elections. Nigerians need a perfect framework for transparency and to restore confidence in the electoral process. Without this amendment, we risk perpetuating the same cycle of disputed elections, protracted litigation, and damaged democratic credibility that has plagued Nigeria's Fourth Republic. The National Assembly must act decisively to embed mandatory real time electronic transmission of results in the Electoral Act, removing all ambiguity and closing the legal loopholes that have been exploited to undermine the people's will. Democracy demands nothing less. Dr. Olisa Agbakoba, SAN February 9, 2026
