UK Introduced Nigeria To Election Rigging – Ex-INEC REC, Mike Igini

Former INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) for Akwa Ibom State, Mike Igini, has alleged that the United Kingdom, UK, introduced election rigging to the Nigerian political system.

Igini noted that the UK has no post-election adjudication court, whereas Nigerians are in court today over the election outcome.

Igini stated this while fielding questions about the conduct of the just concluded 2023 general elections on Arise Television’s Morning Show program on Friday.

He said, ”What I want Nigerians to know is that whatever we make of this country, that is what it will become. It is clearly in our hands because, in this country, Nigeria, with all the human and material resources, all that’s required is leadership.

”Today, we are now in Court over the election that has been conducted. It should be noted that the United Kingdom, UK, that today is one of the countries that our people are going to; in short, after Nigeria, they go to the UK. It should be noted that even the UK, which introduced Nigeria to election rigging for a period of 99 years, almost a hundred years, had no post-election adjudication in the United Kingdom.”
