The author of ‘Things Fall Apart,’ reknowned writer Chinua Achebe has talked to the BBC about his fears for the forthcoming elections:
We thought Nigeria was already passed that stage but we have been dragged back now to a situation which every election becomes an occasion for struggle and violence.
But an INEC official interviewed by the BBC rebuffed Achebe’s concerns:
Mr Biyu, director of voter education at the Independent National Electoral Commission (Inec), said as far as the electoral system was concerned much had been done to stop rigging.
“With what we have done all is now set to conduct the election peacefully”
