The bane of our underdevelopment as a nation is not really because of the ineptitude of the political class. Rather, it is the failure of critical institutions like judiciary, INEC who have denied the country of good governance by collecting bribes to impose crooked politicians on us.

Nigeria can not get better unless we have an upright judiciary and INEC that is ready to do the right thing . Until the Judiciary and INEC are sanitized, we will continue to witness a cycle of clueless and incompetent leaders foisted on us. My case in Lagos offers great insight as to how INEC and the judiciary have bastardized the system.

I defeated Yayi twice, defeated the incumbent Senator Adebule, yet INEC announced her as the winner. In fact, while the votes were still being collated on Monday, INEC had criminally announced Adebule in a bojuboju manner earlier on Saturday..

It is quite inexplicable that in the same Senatorial election election held on the same day as the presidential election in which Tinubu who spent billions of Naira lost to the Labour Party Candidate, Peter Obi, while Idiat who did not campaign and was hurriedly nominated few weeks to the election, was declared the winner by INEC. This was the same election where I had the highest votes, 288,000 for the Senatorial election in Nigeria..

The result of the shenanigans perpetrated by INEC and the judiciary is what we are seeing the likes of Idiat and other INEC and judiciary imposed legislators and Governors in Nigeria. This is why Idiat and the likes are just adding up the numbers and not making any impact in various positions they have been gifted by INEC and the courts.

So, without the sanitization of these institutions -INEC and the judiciary, things will continue to get worse for us a country.

In an election where the Vice President lost his state, the president also lost his ward, Local Government and State and yet INEC still declared him winner of the election, it really calls for great concern

For the nitwits who tag me a serial loser for crying out against the manipulation of my election results by INEC as orchestrated by the APC, I have some posers for them.

Now that Tinubu has taken the Lagos model of election manipulation to Federal level and states, starting with Edo recently, can we also say his opponents in the last election – Obi and Atiku are serial losers? Of course we all saw what happened in Edo which was clearly daylight robbery.

Of course, they will still use the same template for Ondo where the losers will be announced as the winner of the election and other coming elections. Despite the failure of the APC and the fact that people are cursing the party, INEC still went ahead to announce the loser of the election as against the wishes of the people.

As I said earlier, only a reformed and sanitized INEC and upright judiciary can save the country from further decline as they have foisted incompetent and clueless leaders on us.
