First Election Security Threat Assessment
SECURITY THREAT ASSESSMENT: TOWARDS 2015 ELECTIONS January – June 2013 edition With Support from the MacArthur Foundation Table of Contents I. Executive Summary II. Security Threat Assessment for North Central III. Security Threat Assessment for North East IV. Security Threat Assessment for North West V. Security Threat Assessment for South East VI. Security Threat Assessment for South South VII. Security Threat Assessment for South West Executive Summary Political Context The merger between the Action Congress of Nigeria (ACN), Congress for Progressive Change (CPC), All Nigerian Peoples Party (ANPP) and other smaller parties, has provided an opportunity for opposition parties to align and challenge the dominance of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This however will also provide the backdrop for a keenly contested election in 2015. The zoning arrangement for the presidency is also a key issue that will define the face of the 2015 elections and possible security consequences. Across the six geopolitical zones, other factors will define the elections. These include the persisting state of insecurity from the insurgency and activities of militants and vigilante groups, the high stakes of election as a result of the availability of derivation revenues, the ethnic heterogeneity that makes elite consensus more difficult to attain, as well as the difficult environmental terrain that makes policing of elections a herculean task. Preparations for the Elections The political temperature across the country is heating up in preparation for the 2015 elections. While some state governors are up for re-election, most others are serving out their second terms. The implication is that most of the states are open for grab by either of the major parties and will therefore make the electoral contest fiercer in 2015 both within the political parties and in the general election. -

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. -

THE CHALLENGE of DEMOCRACY and DEVELOPMENT in NIGERIA’S NIGER DELTA: the CASE of DELTA STATE, 1999-2014 Dr
International Journal of Development and Economic Sustainability Vol.3, No.6, pp.48-64, December 2015 ___Published by European Centre for Research Training and Development UK (www.eajournals.org) THE CHALLENGE OF DEMOCRACY AND DEVELOPMENT IN NIGERIA’S NIGER DELTA: THE CASE OF DELTA STATE, 1999-2014 Dr. Emmanuel Nwafor Mordi Department of History & International Studies, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria ABSTRACT: This article examines the challenge of democracy and development in Nigeria’s oil-rich Niger Delta, using the example of Delta State, 1999-2014. Against the backdrop of an expansive literature on the region’s state of decay, poverty, and conspiracy between the Federal Government of Nigeria and MNOCs to deny the Niger Delta of the benefits of its God-given oil resources, with attendant insurgency, this micro study cautions against the pitfalls of sweeping generalization. Adopting the critical, evaluative method of contemporary history, built on secondary sources, this work is significant in drawing attention to the manipulation and diversion of insurgency initially directed against the local elite by an aggrieved community to achieve political relevance and primitive accumulation by the former, who failed to judiciously and transparently utilize the huge sums of money from statutory allocation and donor agencies to transform the state. The paper calls for a review of the conventional wisdom on the subject. KEYWORDS: Resource curse, Contemporary Nigeria, Niger Delta problem, Democratic governance, Development, Corruption INTRODUCTION The lingering development quagmire in the Niger Delta well over a decade after Nigeria’s restoration of democratic governance is revisited. Much has been written by scholars and specialized agencies on the aborted hope of economic transformation of the Niger Delta and the attendant upsurge of violent militancy in the wake of Nigeria’s return to democratic governance in 1999 ( Osaghae, Ikelegbe, Olarinmoye & Okhomina 2007). -
