Nigeria May Break Up After 2015 – Ngige

The political rumblings in the country in recent times have been eliciting dire forecasts, particularly with regards to the 2015 general election. Some of the gloomy forecasts while largely indicating turbulent times ahead, further reinforced the American prediction of the disintegration of Nigeria in 2015.
Yesterday, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, Chief Emeka Ngige, added his voice to the hubbub when he declared that there may not be Nigeria after 2015.

According to Ngige, “Nigeria should be ready to accept the US prediction that the country would disintegrate in 2015 going by the seeming outcome of Anambra governorship election”.

Ngige was reacting to the irregularities that marred the Nov 16 Anambra State governorship elections, which the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) declared inconclusive.

The legal icon further declared that, “INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega has admitted that he failed in Anambra. It would happen in 2015 presidential election when INEC is expected to declare Presidential results in favour of President Goodluck Jonathan and that would mark the end of Nigeria as a united country.”

He added that the only option left for Jega and his INEC was to cancel the entire Anambra governorship election and fix a date for a fresh one as major opposition parties had already threatened toboycott the Nov 30 supplementary election.

He averred that if the electoral body goes ahead to conduct the November 30 supplementary election as earlier announced, the election umpire would be setting a precedent for speedy disintegration of Nigeria in 2015.

He accused President Jonathan and Jega for preparing the ground to impose Obiano as governor on the people of the state, adding that, Jega is trying to emulate past INEC boss, Prof. Maurice Iwu, which will not stand the test of time.
