Isn't it ironic? Very few Nigerians doubt INEC! Most international commentators trust this INEC! So we have the building blocks of a progressively sound and potentially great electoral edifice from the 2011 elections! And this, despite all the challenges, hiccups and shaky starts of both the voter-registration exercise and last week's botched polls! What a badge of honour to Jega & Company!! We watch and we know, don't we?
Set against the past, this can only be heartwarming. So, kudos to the appointer, kudos to the appointees.
My vote for INEC stems from the courage and honesty of its new leadership. Telling it as it is - despite the obvious and heavy costs. Levelling with Nigerians and the world, accepting full responsibility, and - most importantly - APOLOGIZING! Against the past players, this is comparing apples with coconuts!!
On this note, I vote for INEC.
