IS INEC UNDER BUHARI BECOMING A SHADOW OF ITSELF?

IS INEC UNDER BUHARI BECOMING A SHADOW OF ITSELF?

That President Muhammadu Buhari has admitted failure in the three elections conducted under his watch only confirms Sunday Vanguard’s insistence that the era of free, fair and credible elections may have gone for good. And whereas the drumbeats of war, which came from both the All Progressives Congress, APC, and the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, were enough to elicit the type of outcome witnessed in the Rivers State re-run elections, the less than efficient activities of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, introduced a dangerous dimension, to further inflame an already combustible situation.

Taking the pain of betrayal to the mistress’ doorsteps!

How do you handle betrayal? When the ‘love of your life’ is discovered to be the heart-throb of another, how do you handle the two-faced partner that means so much to you?
