The Director, Abuja School of Social and Political Thought,
Sam Amadi, has said that the 2026 primary elections held by different political
parties in the country is worse than the ones of 2022.
Amadi made this remark in an interview on Arise Television on Sunday night.
He said that why no lessons were learnt was that there were
often no real consequences for violating due process.
According to him, political actors do not internalize the
cost of breaking the rules because they were rarely penalized for doing so.
“The 2026 primaries are worse than the 2022 primaries. If
candidates or parties lost elections for failing to follow fair and transparent
procedures, they would be forced to learn from those mistakes.
“Unfortunately, a culture of what many describe as political
banditry has emerged, where some believe they can disregard due process without
consequences.
“When such behavior is rewarded rather than punished, it
only encourages further violations and weakens democratic institutions,” he
said.
