Don’t Blame Disenfranchisement For Your Failure, Wike Tells Political Parties

AI Summary

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory Nyesom Wike told political parties in a live interview on Arise News that electoral defeats should not be blamed on alleged disenfranchisement but on inadequate preparation. He defined disenfranchisement as the deliberate prevention of a voter from voting and argued that a party’s lack of readiness does not constitute such suppression. Wike emphasized that voters remain free to choose any candidate and that parties must accept responsibility for their own shortcomings. The remarks suggest parties may need to improve organisational capacity ahead of upcoming elections.
