INEC came out of this election as a damaged good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no doubt about that. INEC itself set up a standard. INEC determined the guidelines. INEC committed to the people of Nigeria that this is how we are going to declare the result of this election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, the chairman of INEC went abroad and said, \u2018What we are going to do is that these results, when we get it, we would put it on IReV in real time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut guess what? When it was time for INEC to fulfill its guidelines \u2014 for certain reasons\u2026we could talk about that\u2013 INEC failed to do what it said it would do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, it is right that if you look at the law, and I think the judges also affirmed, INEC has not really broken the law. But INEC has broken the trust of the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a problem for political legitimacy for people who came out of that system. So, there is a lot of cynicism, there is a lot of distrust [about those declared winners].<\/p>\n<p>\u201cINEC is responsible for that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>He
