On Tuesday, March 16, 2010, Maurice Iwu launched his dubious timetable for the 2011 general elections in Nigeria. MakeYourVotesCount (MYVC) an organisation committed to credible elections was on hand to protest Iwu’s new ploy to continue in office as INEC chairman.
Some people blame the attitude of politicians and Nigerians in general for the ineffectiveness of INEC under Iwu. Our position is that Iwu lacks the capacity to conduct credible elections. When you have an electoral umpire who is not committed to democracy or the rule of law, nobody will be inclined to obey the rules of the game.
To this end, we have resolved to continue our protest until Iwu is sacked or resigns honourably. Iwu simply can’t be trusted to hold free and fair elections.

The feedback keeps pouring in and it is clear that many people feel exactly the same way about the state of our elections. We are currently working on a plan to escalate our protest directly to the decision makers. Post this link on your Facebook page and send a quick email to your representatives to demand action.

The momentum is building and it proves that people are tired of this incompetence at the helm of INEC. Post this link on your Facebook page right now and tag your local representatives to demand Iwu steps down. We need to keep this pressure on until he is gone.

The man is a disgrace to Nigeria. Please just leave office already and let us move forward.
IWU MUST GO!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
We are tired of the manipulation every single time. Get him out.
He is clearly not interested in democracy. Time for new leadership at INEC.
How can we have a fair vote with this man in charge. It is impossible.

He has caused enough damage already. We need someone who actually cares about the country and not just their pocket.
