Mr. Josiah Uwazuruonye is the Anambra State Resident Electoral Commissioner. In this interview conducted immediately after the last Saturday governorship election, he spoke on the poll conduct and how politicians in connived with unscrupulous INEC officials to distort the voters’ register used in the election and efforts made to correct same. Excerpts:

Like most Nigerians of his ilk,Pastor Tunde Bakare has for some time be deeply concerned over socio-political and economic affairs of the country. From the pulpit, he often describe himself as belonging to a generation that will change Nigeria for the better.

NO DOUBT this is not the best of times for Nigerians. Before now virtually every aspect of the country’s life has been dysfunctional. But capping this quagmire with an ‘offshore’ president, has become a nightmare. Hence the nation seems to be drifting to doom.

The country has never had a head. The only challenge here is that there could be emergence of army to come to power. Although we pray for Yar’Adua, we cannot continue to wait for him. And I pray Jonathan is safe. But, we will not allow any military to come to power. If the military takes power, then, we will be forced to go on the streets. We have done it in the past, we will still do it again.

A man who has been in coma will sign a document of about 300 pages when he had to sign every page. Common sense tells us that is not possible. And even if he signs, was he conscious of what he was signing. Did he know the implication even to himself. Was he mentally alert to know it was the supplementary budget he was signing. You see when people talk, they should be mindful that we’re not fools.
