A professor of Communication Arts, believes that foreign powers are responsible for the spate of election rigging in Nigeria.
A don of the University of Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, Desmond Wilson, says the secret support of foreign powers and devious neighbours has fostered election rigging in Nigeria.
Wilson said this on Thursday, in Uyo during the 44th inaugural lecture of the university with the theme, “Ethnocommunicology, Trado-Modern Communication and Mediamorphosis in Nigeria: An Iconoclasts Demystification of some Communication Traditions.
“The election rigger who has himself been manipulated to believe that he is the messiah is often buoyed by the dubious and secret support of foreign powers and devious neighbours.
“Even the leader who openly admits that he was rigged into office never has the courage to order a fresh voting.”
Speaking further, the professor also alleged that Nigeria’s leaders receive pay-offs from multinational corporations so that they could introduce negative policies against the people.
