An open letter to INEC on Anambra Governorship Election

By Ejike Anyaduba

Dear Professor Mahmood Yakubu,

I admit of no better time than now to write you this letter. With the November 18 governorship election in Anambra State within days of taking place it behoves us in the state to ask a few questions. I assume - even without being admitted in knowledge - that you have taken effective care to ensure that Anambra State witnesses a free and fair election. Nothing will be more gratifying than this realization.
