Moghalu wants INEC to sponsor primaries of political parties

by Ebor Cletus Ralph Jr

Former presidential candidate Kingsley Moghalu has attacked the commercialization of the electoral process, claiming that it frequently restricts voters’ alternatives.

During a Friday interview on Channels TV’s “Sunrise Daily,” Moghalu announced this decision.
The use of delegates, particularly in the just finished presidential primaries, was allegedly rife with several financial inducements, which frequently leads to the best candidates being ignored, according to the former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria.

 

In order to guarantee that voters select candidates who have their best interests in mind, Moghalu requested the Independent National Electoral Commission to fund the procedures.

“Delegates are mainly there for pecuniary reasons which doesn’t throw up the best candidates, which is why INEC must look at this processes.

“One of my recommendations is that the Federal Government should fund these processes. In many countries, the government funds political parties so that the electorate will choose based on the issues. This malaise is why the parties sell forms at exorbitant prices which engenders corruption.

“Nigeria can fashion its own democracy and every country practises based on local adaptations,” Moghalu explained.
