Edo State Chief of Staff, Hon. Patrick Obahiagbon, known for his mighty
grammars has spoken about the just concluded elections in the country,
and why there was major low turnout across the Federation during
Saturday’s Governorship elections. Here’s what Mr Obahiagbon told
Punch;
How would you assess the conduct of security operatives during the polls?
The conduct of security operatives in the Assembly elections was
certainly an amelioration on their performance two weeks ago in Edo
State but the same cannot be said of their modus operandi across the
length and breadth of the country. They certainly crossed the line of
constitutionalism and democratic propriety in states like Rivers, Akwa
Ibom and some others, which is certainly depreciable and outrageously
despicable.
What would you say was responsible for the low turnout of voters last Saturday?
I’m sure the low voter turnout could be attributable to a vaudeville of
ratiocinations. The presidential election attracted more voters
ostensibly because that was the political elephant and was therefore
occasioned with anttendant publicity ballyhoo. A vast majority of
Nigerians were also righteously indignant of the state of economic
quagmire, political phantasmagoria and social disequilibrium the
philistine and clueless government of President Jonathan has plummeted
the country.
