Electoral umpire in Nigeria and its miasma of failures

Elections in Nigeria, since 1923, have been plagued by issues such as distrust and untrustworthy umpires, often appointed by equally untrustworthy men of power. These electoral failures have significantly impacted the country's growth and development, hindering its position on the international stage. The electoral history of Nigeria dates back to the colonial era, with figures like Sir Hugh Clifford, who introduced the first constitution in 1922.
