“If @inecnigeria knows it's being watched, it will be careful.” But who is doing the watching before Nigeria's 2027 elections? I do not understand why everyone seems to be waiting for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to deliver “trucks and trucks of results” before thinking about how to challenge those results. Political parties have a responsibility here. They should have the structures and people in place to collect and authenticate results from INEC's own portals, rather than wait until they are in court to start assembling the evidence. My central point is simple: “If INEC knows it's being watched, it will be careful.”If political parties can independently assemble a credible record from the same source, INEC will know that its figures are being scrutinised. I believe that could encourage greater care in delivering accurate results. I have heard that some political parties are organising to do this. I hope they follow through, because preparation cannot begin after an election dispute has already arisen. I want 2027 to be a departure from the past. But I am hopeful, not certain. The work has to be done before election day. Watch the video to hear my full argument.
