If you lose the election, you just wait for the next election. You don\u2019t need to go to court.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause if you go to court, the judiciary too will not compromise. So you will not get anything,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p>The former Anambra governor stressed the need for Nigeria to adopt a more robust electoral system, similar to South Africa\u2019s, to ensure credible and transparent elections.<\/p>\n<p>Obi lauded South Africa\u2019s Independent Electoral Commission (IEC) for its efficiency and impartiality, suggesting Nigeria\u2019s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) could benefit from similar structural reforms.<\/p>\n<p>He said that adopting these measures, he believed Nigeria can strengthen its democratic process and ensure free, fair, and credible elections.<\/p>\n<p>The tweet reads: &#8220;The outcome of the recent South African election results remains a shining example of what a transparent and efficient democratic electoral process should look like.<\/p>\n<p>With about 60% Voter turnout, over 90% of polling open on time, allowing diaspora voting, the results and updates were real-time without any form of technical glitches during the election.<\/p>\n<p>This demonstrated the robustness and transparency of their system. The seamless online dissemination of results further highlights their commitment to democratic principles and technological advancement.<\/p>\n<p>This is in stark contrast, to the show of shame that the giant of Africa, Nigeria, gave the World in 2023. Nigeria\u2019s 2023, with less than 30% of the Voter turnout and over 60% of the polling stations starting late, no diaspora voting, the elections were plagued by allegations of fraud and widespread irregularities, all forms of glitches, despite an enormous expenditure to the tune of about a billion dollars (direct allocation of =N=313 Billion and donor agencies supports).<\/p>\n<p>The process has been widely discredited. The differences between the two countries\u2019 electoral processes are both stark and lamentable. South Africa\u2019s Election Results Center, with its state-of-the-art electronic board, showcased results with unparalleled precision and speed.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Nigeria\u2019s electoral process is mired in controversy and lacks transparency. This glaring juxtaposition is a painful reminder of our country\u2019s ongoing struggles with democratic governance.<\/p>\n<p>It underscores the urgent need for comprehensive electoral reforms to ensure that our elections are free, fair, and credible. We must learn from South Africa\u2019s example and strive to build a system that restores the people\u2019s faith in our democracy.<\/p>\n<p>The time for action is now, and we cannot afford to delay any longer in addressing these critical issues for a new Nigeria is POssible!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/twitter.com\/PeterObi\/status\/1799352478095270186<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Obi highlighted its transparency, efficiency, and technological advancement.\u00a0 Obi contrasted South Africa&#8217;s exemplary democratic process with Nigeria&#8217;s flawed 2023 elections.
