Its objective is to strengthen civil society’s ability to influence the development and implementation of key democratic reforms at the national, state, and local levels. The program supports increased engagement and efficacy of civil society to influence public institutions whose function it is to serve citizens’ interests. The program explicitly engages marginalized populations; such as women, youth, and the disabled; in the process and emphasizes the importance of leadership and innovation. The program has four components: 1. Strengthened institutional, organizational, and technical capacity of targeted civil society organizations’ (CSO) coalitions and networks to advance targeted democracy and good governance initiatives. 2. Strengthened partnership (engagement) between CSO-led coalitions and networks and targeted Government of Nigeria (GON) institutions and key stakeholders to advocate

  • Akwa Ibom, There Were Reports of Vote Buying and Money Distribution Involving the PDP and APC
    NIGER DELTA WATCH 2019 A citizen-led election observation project Report: Niger Delta Watch 2019 #6 Report published: 21 January 2019 Report period: 07 – 13 January 2019 Summary This is the sixth edition of Niger Delta Watch 2019. This week we focus on incidents of electoral fraud and corruption that have occurred in the four project states since the beginning of project. We discover that the most common type of fraudulent incident relates to bribery, a number of these incidents have involved giving money, particularly to women (which reflects themes in previous election periods), and multiple political parties are involved in such behaviour (including the two main parties: the PDP and APC). The highest number of fraud related incidents have been reported in Southern Ijaw LGA, Bayelsa State. In Rivers this week, incidents of bribery and billboard destruction were reported. The PDP concluded their campaigning in some LGAs in the State, and the Accord Party carried out peaceful campaigns in Khana and Gokana LGAs. Although it falls outside the reporting period, Rivers State elections took a dramatic turn when the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) omitted any APC candidates from the list for the National Assembly elections published on Thursday 17 January. See regional and Rivers notes for detail. In Bayelsa, candidates of the APC, PDP and Alliance Democratic Party (ADC) continued their visits to State constituencies and districts. INEC commenced distribution of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs), recruitment of ad hoc personnel, conduct of trainings, release of guidelines for the Election, and voter education on radio and other public places, e.g.

  • Akwa Ibom State While Rivers Has the Most Obvious Drop in Campaign Activity Compared to Earlier Periods
    NIGER DELTA WATCH 2019 A citizen-led election observation project Report: Niger Delta Watch 2019 #5 Report published: 14 January 2019 Report period: 17 December 2018 – 06 January 2019 Summary This is the fifth edition of Niger Delta Watch 2019. Across the region the electoral campaigns appear to be less intense and with fewer resources than in the same period in 2011 and 2015. There is some variability to this, with more visible campaigning in Akwa Ibom State while Rivers has the most obvious drop in campaign activity compared to earlier periods. Akwa Ibom also had the most obvious incidents of political violence with one APC youth leader attacked and abducted for his activities while a PDP leader had his house burnt down. There were also reports of a clash between APC and PDP supporters where allegations of injury to Aman Nkanga indicate how swiftly incidents can escalate to impact on nationally relevant figures – Nkanga is the younger brother of Idongesit Nkanga, the present chairman of PANDEF, a high-level Niger Delta group engaging with the Federal Government on regional grievances and development demands. Rivers had two deaths over Christmas that seem to continue the mix of gang and political violence. Incidents of violence have been sporadic and limited but with background concerns persisting about the neutrality of security services and violence immediately around the elections. On December 18 Bayelsa welcomed yet another Police Commissioner, Joseph Mukan, who is technically the ninth Commissioner in the four months since the problem of revolving commissioners began. The highest profile issue regionally over the past week was the Federal High Court in Rivers adding to the prior state court ruling on the ongoing case of the APC primaries, this time explicitly ruling that neither faction of the APC has candidates for the 2019 elections and issuing an injunction against INEC.
