Low Turnout Was Caused By ‘Vaudeville Of Ratiocinations’ – Obahiagbon

Edo State Chief of Staff, Hon.
Patrick Obahiagbon, known for his mighty grammars has spoken about the just
concluded elections in the country, and why there was major low turnout across the
Federation during Saturday’s Governorship elections.  Here’s what Mr Obahiagbon told Punch;

How would you assess the conduct of security operatives
during the polls?

The conduct of security operatives
in the Assembly elections was certainly an amelioration on their performance
two weeks ago in Edo State but the same cannot be said of their modus operandi
across the length and breadth of the country. They certainly crossed the line
of constitutionalism and democratic propriety in states like Rivers, Akwa Ibom
and some others, which is certainly depreciable and outrageously despicable.

What would you say was responsible for the low turnout of
voters last Saturday?

I’m sure the low voter turnout
could be attributable to a vaudeville of ratiocinations. The presidential
election attracted more voters ostensibly because that was the political
elephant and was therefore occasioned with anttendant publicity ballyhoo. A
vast majority of Nigerians were also righteously indignant of the state of
economic quagmire, political phantasmagoria and social disequilibrium the
philistine and clueless government of President Jonathan has plummeted the
country.
