A representative of the United Nations in Nigeria,Mr James Brown said democracy in Nigeria has been murdered day light,with the killings,maiming,arson and intimidation that characterised Kogi and Bayelsa election .
Mr Brown bare his mind while fielding questions from journalists in Abuja,said Nigerian democracy is under threat if Kogi charade is allowed to stand .
He said there was no election both in the three Senatorial zones, as people’s willingness to exercise their franchise was replaced with open confrontation of arson,murder,killings ,vote buying, ballot stuffing and snatching by government officials .
He said the partial stance of the security agencies and electoral umpire across the state, was a threat to lives and properties to innocent citizens who were bent to put in place a government that will guarantee good governance.
Brown said Nigeria as a nation, should review it’s electoral laws to address thuggery and other forms of rigging been perpetrated by the political class.
According to Brown,developed countries will henceforth not send representative to Nigeria, because of lapses in the electoral system, insecurity of voters,observers and officials as well lack of credibility of the process in it’s entirety .
He said the election in Kogi was devoid of free,fair and credible process,faulting INEC for going ahead to announce the results of the election.
