Femi Falana, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria has warned that the elections scheduled for March 28 and April 11 may not hold, as they may be 'sabotaged by anti-democratic forces.'
According to him, these anti-democratic forces will lead to the military staging a coup d'etat which will usher in an interim government.
He said that president Jonathan's assurance and the INEC 's likewise were not enough indicators to convince anyone that the elections will hold on schedule.
He added that even if the elections go on as planned, there will be post-election violence.
“There is no indication that the election will hold,” he said. “If the INEC goes ahead with the conduct of the elections there are fears that the exercise may be sabotaged by anti-democratic forces. If the election holds the results may be rejected leading to a post-election violence which may threaten the corporate existence of the nation.
“In the circumstance, an interim government may be established and be saddled with the task of preparing the country for another political transition. In the alternative, a coup d’etat that may be staged by the top echelon of the armed forces under the pretext of restoring law and order and fighting the menace of insurgency. The military wing of the ruling parties succeeded in Mali and Burkina Faso. But having divided the country along ethnic and religious lines, the masterminds of the political crisis are not likely to profit from the perfidy.”
