Speaking at the fifth anniversary lecture of First Daily newspaper, held in Abuja, with the theme “2027: How Can We Make Our Votes Count?” Seriake said that electoral fraud is a coup against the people’s sovereignty.
According to him, the subversion of popular will through rigged elections is a trend that cannot be allowed to continue because it clearly violates citizens’ rights to freely choose their leaders.
He lamented the partnership between politicians, security agencies and electoral officials to falsify results and deny the people the right to their choice of leaders.
