NIGERIA’S INDEPENDENT NATIONAL ELECTORAL COMMISSION — INEC — AND ITS CHAIRMEN

Michael Ani
Ani as in Any
Any invents new maths
And ⅔ of ⅔ becomes one

Ovie-Whiskey
Whiskey, alcohol, and credible elections!
Alcohol was so freely available
That INEC staff were always drunk

Eme Awa
Do and run in Igbo
As the heat increased
Eme Awa vacated his position.

Humphrey Nwosu
Huffing and pumping
Humphrey Nwosu tried to install Abiola
He was manhandled by Babangida

Okon Uya
Mr. beautiful moonlight
Tried to do at night
What others could not do in the daytime

Sumner Dagogo-Jack
Do I resemble Sumner or Jack?
He was removed as he was choosing
Between Sumner and Jack

Ephraim Akpata
Ephraim spent so much time
Playing his akpata — harp
That he fell asleep and never woke

Abel Guobadia
Used to residing with Kings
Abel rubberstamped
Obasanjo’s reelection in 2003

Maurice Iwu
Manipulated many elections
That his name became
Synonymous with wuruwuru — fraud

Attahiru Jega
Jega registered more voters in
Boko Haram territory than
In the South and
Ran a jaga, jaga election

Mahmood Yakubu
Don’t be deceived by the name
Mahmood is un-noble, unadmirable, and unpraiseworthy
His 2023 election is the most fraudulent in Nigeria’s history.

INEC should try a Chairwoman after so many failed Chairmen.
