Sam Amadi, an advocate for free and fair elections, suggests that appealing to President Buhari not to declare May 26 a public holiday is ineffective. As per his observation, the political class has the capability of rigging judicial proceedings to suit their interests, and appealing to their sense of justice is futile.
Instead of relying on the morality of the riggers, Sam Amadi recommends that people mobilize alternative forces against corrupt practices. The same individuals who annul votes can also nullify the holiday. Without resistance or punitive consequences, there is nothing to deter them from doing so.
Sam Amadi urges people to take proactive steps to uphold democratic values and guarantee electoral integrity. The absence of severe consequences for corrupt acts encourages perpetrators to continue with their unethical practices. Sam Amadi proposes the building of a resilient and united coalition committed to promoting democratic values to safeguard against this.
