 AKT state residents have been tasked to strive for the enthronement of democratic principles in the June 18, 2022, governorship election. Stakeholders at a one-day forum took the opportunity to brainstorm on ways to deepen democratic ethics and citizens' participation in the political process in the state. The stakeholders also deliberated on deepening participation while contaminating financial inducements in elections, which they say have led to increased corruption. While identifying vote-buying and electoral violence as some of the challenges to credible elections in Nigeria, the stakeholders say constant engagement with the independent National Electoral Commission has led to improvement in the country's electoral processes. What we observe is that it's only a crime when an opposition agent found perpetrating this sort of an act. But when an agent of a governing party found this thing, what the security agents do is they give them cover. They give them cover. In fact, in many occasions, the security agents will even guide them and tell them those that voted for their party. And whenever you approach any of these security agents to acts or to tell them, look, you are here for this kind of stuff to stop, not to be, not to happen. If you say, look, that person's just saying, but what we hear from them is I have never been posted here to look into see and buy. I was only posted to fight against any issue of crisis. You cannot see a election in isolation. You have to connect all the dots. Elections can be free, elections can be fair, but not credible. But how can elections be credible when you don't see the elements or the essential of election? Then you want to see three principles in election. Principle of inclusivity, principle of transparency, principle of accountability. People in 24% of colonies were denied the chance to participate in elections in Biasas Terana. That only means a transparent election.
