The Independent National electoral Commission of Nigeria (INEC) is an electoral body in Nigeria set up to conduct elections in Nigeria . Its origin can be traced to the period before the nation's independence when in 1960 The Federal Electoral commission was established in 1960 to conduct 1959 elections in the country. This electoral body was however dissolved after the 1966 coup which ushered in the military administration in the country.


Nigeria's INEC is a permanent body with presence felt in the 36 states of the country including Abuja as well as the 774 local government areas in the country where teeming populations of candidates wait on the body to vie for political offices in the country. It is as a result of this development that INEC asserts to the claim that the body has more than before repositioned itself to deliver credible elections that will sustain nascent and hard earned democracy in the country which many people have since doubted in view of the history of the past elections organized by the body.


The commission as presently constituted is made up of a chairman and 12 national commissioners and established in accordance with section 153(f) of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria with the major functions of organizing and supervising the elections to the positions of the President, Vice-President, Governors and deputy Governors of a state, to the members of the Senate, House designer sunglasses on sale of Representatives, and of the Assembly of each state, registration of political parties etc.


INEC in its history has conducted several elections in the country all of which has been deemed to the besieged with unfairness and without gucci sunglasses for men cheap fairness excepting the June 12 elections which even the acclaimed winner in the presidential race, Chief M. K. O. Abiola never assumed office, or better put never lived to claim his mandate because his mandate was unfairly denied him, thus he died in a mysterious circumstances in the hands of the Government of the country while struggling to claim his mandate. INEC is therefore seen as a biased commission not capable of organizing credible elections and an instrument of sitting leaders to achieve their personal means ray-ban sunglasses 2012 politically.


As noted in this write up, INEC is viewed as a failure in terms of organizations of credible elections into political offices in Nigeria that would produce credible personalities capable of running the nations without first considering their personal interests which to large extent has led to fraud and large scale electoral malpractices in the country. The problem with INEC would seem to begin the fact that the body contrary to the name is not an independent body because the body is firmly tied to the aprons of the Federal Government of Nigeria which uses the body to achieve its personal means dictating who should vie for particular offices and who should eventually win such offices. In this way INEC does not function without undue interference from Government Agencies and even political parties. (This is the view of Otunba Nicholas Tofowomo Chairman of Isedale Yoruba in the Diaspora UK) According to him "INEC is an invisible quasi extension of the presidency"


INEC is also seen as an organization that cannot be trusted by even political candidates vying for offices in organizing credible and competent elections in the land. It would also seem that the appointment of the chairman of the body and other directors by the presidency makes INEC a baby of the government with a natural instinct to act according to the whims and caprices of the Federal Government. The height of this was seen during the rule of Obasanjo when he singly hand-picked the present president of the country to vie for presidential office under the platform of the ruling party, PDP, this candidate went ahead to win in the election much to the surprise of the international monitors and observers.


Again, Babangida, the former military president of the country went ahead to set up to political parties in his years as the ruler, and when it was clear that chief MKO Abiola the presidential candidate of one of the parties was leading ordered his baby-INEC to stop further release of the results, with the then chairman of the electoral body, Prof Humphrey Nwosu later arrested because he would go ahead with the result of the results and was set to officially unveil the Late Chief MKO Abiola as the winner of the election and president of the country. Abiola would later die in a circumstance deemed very controversial while fighting to claim his mandate and assume office of the executive president of the country. It would be surprising to note that only this year Chief MKO Abiola became officially unveiled as the winner of the election by the man who presided over the election, Prof Humphrey Nwosu, fifteen years after the said election.
