And with a past in which our former President, Olusegun Obasanjo,<br \/>\nopenly declared the 2007 presidential election \u201ca do or die affair\u201d, and<br \/>\nwith the election-related threats recently flung at our national<br \/>\nconsciousness by various leaders of the All Progressive Congress (APC),<br \/>\nthe peaceful conduct of the June 21, 2014, gubernatorial election in Ekiti<br \/>\nState is a major index of political and moral progress for the Nigerian<br \/>\nstate.<\/p>\n<p>As if to complement the \u201cdo or die\u201d declaration by former President<br \/>\nObasanjo, Chief Bola Tinubu, the APC leader, as reported in a publication<br \/>\non page 60 of Saturday Sun of June 14, 2014, had said: \u201cThey are already<br \/>\nplanning to rig elections but we are ready to protect your votes\u2026 It is<br \/>\ngoing to be rig and roast. We are prepared not to go to court but to drive<br \/>\nyou out\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As if Chief Tinubu\u2019s prediction of electoral malpractices and promise to<br \/>\nrespond by roasting vote riggers was not chilling enough, Mallam Nasir<br \/>\nEl-Rufai, another APC chieftain, was quoted in the same publication as<br \/>\nhaving said: \u201cThe next election is likely to be violent and many people<br \/>\nare likely going to die. And the only alternative to get power is to take<br \/>\nit by force\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So not only can we compare what happened in Ekiti to the \u201cdo or die\u201d era<br \/>\nof election conduct where, having made the threat, President Obasanjo made<br \/>\ngood his word by delivering an election that was marred by massive<br \/>\nirregularities even by the admission of the candidate declared winner, the<br \/>\nlate President Umaru Yar\u2019 Adua who, ironically, still went to court to<br \/>\ndefend what therefore amounted to an underserved mandate.<\/p>\n<p>We can also compare the Ekiti election to a scenario where, going by the<br \/>\nsaid utterances of Chief Tinubu and Mallam El-Rufai, some of our leaders<br \/>\nexpect us to be headed as a nation with regard to elections and their<br \/>\noutcome. That destination, as it were, is a situation characterised by<br \/>\nmassive vote rigging and other serious electoral malpractices and response<br \/>\nwith violence by those who feel cheated by such irregularities, as<br \/>\nevidenced by the APC\u2019s pledge not to seek redress in court but to take the<br \/>\nlaw into its hands by implementing a \u201crig and roast\u201d policy that hints at<br \/>\na plan to burn suspected electoral offenders as an alternative to<br \/>\nelectoral litigation.<\/p>\n<p>In passing, I have wondered if, in enunciating the \u201crig and roast\u201d policy<br \/>\nand in declaring that \u201cwe are prepared not to go to court\u201d, Chief Tinubu<br \/>\ngave any thought to the implication of such utterances for a leader who is<br \/>\nproposing his as an alternative leadership platform to what we currently<br \/>\nhave, especially in comparison to President Goodluck Jonathan having once<br \/>\ndeclared that his election is not worth the shedding of anyone\u2019s blood? It<br \/>\nprompts one to wonder if those who speak like the APC leader believe any<br \/>\nnation of peace-loving people would prefer any leader who sees violence as<br \/>\na proper route to power to one who does not.<\/p>\n<p>But Ekiti must have surprised even such prophets of electoral violence;<br \/>\nwhat with the rare grace exhibited by the loser and incumbent Governor,<br \/>\nKayode Fayemi, by conceding victory to his opponent, Ayo Fayose, and the<br \/>\ngeneral acclaim the election has received for being free, fair, and devoid<br \/>\nof violence. And having not roasted anyone in connection with the election<br \/>\nas it vowed to do in response to vote rigging, the APC has invariably<br \/>\nconceded that it was free of rigging.<\/p>\n<p>My mission in this piece, however, is not to condemn the APC for<br \/>\nadvocating electoral violence as evidenced by Chief Tinubu\u2019s \u201crig and<br \/>\nroast\u201d policy, though I expect anyone who associates good leadership with<br \/>\ncivil utterance and conduct to be shocked by the policy and the<br \/>\nbehavioural pattern its advocates, even as an antidote to vote rigging \u2013 a<br \/>\nwrong we generally agree should be abolished from our lives as Nigerians<br \/>\nwhich, as the Ekiti election has proven, can be eliminated without<br \/>\nrecourse to violence.<\/p>\n<p>Rather, my mission is to urge us to look at Ekiti and see that there is<br \/>\nhope for a better Nigeria. That that better Nigeria can be built by<br \/>\nNigerians, since the Ekiti election was not conducted by foreigners, and<br \/>\nany role non-Nigerian elements like international observers might have<br \/>\nplayed in the election was insignificant compared to the roles played by<br \/>\nthe Nigerian government and institutions like the Independent National<br \/>\nElectoral Commission (INEC) an the security agencies to ensure its proper<br \/>\nconduct.<\/p>\n<p>It is also to urge us to see how the doomsday prediction that our country<br \/>\nwould disintegrate come 2015 can be compared to the prediction of<br \/>\nelectoral violence prior to the Ekiti polls. And that such prediction,<br \/>\nlike the one of electoral violence, cannot come true if our people,<br \/>\ngovernment and institutions conduct themselves responsibly, as in the<br \/>\nEkiti polls. That, in all, our destiny is in our grasp.<\/p>\n<p>It is equally to urge us to forgive those who advocate violence as a means<br \/>\nof gaining political power, who may have been sobered by the Ekiti<br \/>\nexperience and the attendant lesson that Nigerians can conduct themselves<br \/>\nso well as to deflate their negative intent and expectations.<\/p>\n<p>The End<\/p>\n<p>[1]Oke, a writer, poet, and public affairs analyst, wrote from Abuja.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Related Posts generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Ikeogu Oke[1] Email: ikeogu.oke@gmail.com;
