  • Defining DSIEC's Relationships with Government and Political Parties
    Between Independence and Engagement: Defining DSIEC’s Relationships with Government and Political Parties Introduction: the “Dukean confession”1 Let us begin with the mea culpa widely attributed to the former Governor of Cross River State, Mr. Donald Duke. In a report widely published by newspapers in 2010, the ex-Governor graphically describes how elections are rigged in Nigeria when he was Governor. Essentially, the model is that an INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) arrives in a State capital, pays a courtesy call on the Governor and complains about lack of vehicles, accommodation, funding – everything practically. The Governor calls in his Chief of Staff and orders that the REC’s every need be provided. The following day, the REC receives several vehicles, keys to a posh accommodation and princely “spending money” to go with them. From then on, the State INEC office becomes an extension of the Government House, a mere parastatal under the State Governor and, by extension, an arm of the ruling party in the State. 1 By this I refer to the widely publicized comments by the former Governor of Cross River State, Donald Duke, detailing how in the past State Governors and INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners connive to rig elections in Nigeria. I have reproduced the awing remarks in the Appendix since I consider it a must read for election administrators. See http://saharareporters.com/report/must-read-how-governors-rig-elections-donald-duke- guardian?page=4 [Accessed 17th February 2014] 1 This “Dukean confession” only confirms what Nigerians have known to be true for some time namely, that rigging of elections is a cooperative enterprise between political parties, political authorities, security agencies and susceptible EMB officials.

ABSTRACT The last two to three decades have witnessed significant transformation in West Africa’s relations to the Arabian Gulf and Asia. While ties to countries such as Saudi Arabia are historic, economic liberalization since the 1980s has introduced new trading partners and some unexpected developments. The outcome of these recent developments can be startling: so in Ghana, for example, India and China have overtaken the United Kingdom, the former colonial power, in investments and the number of operating companies.
