Nigeria needs a transparent electoral system that will ensure free and fair elections in the country, a group, Diamond Fitness Club, has advised. The President of DFC, Mr. Jude Onyebuchi, gave the advice during the election of new executive members on Monday in Lagos. Onyebuchi said, “Good and transparent election is good for the country to grow. We need a good electoral system for us to have good leaders. I have not seen this type of election before in the whole of this country and I can say that we have set a pace for what a country or club needs to grow.” Outgoing president of the club, Chigozie Nwolisa, urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to emulate organisations that conduct elections without crisis. “The election in any place should be free and fair. I advise INEC to learn how to conduct a non-controversial election from distinguished organisations and societies who are doing it well. We have been established since 1999 and we have been doing it well,” he added. Chairman, Diamond Electoral Committee, Okechukwu Anolue, added that good electoral system was a criterion for the growth of the country. “I believe that our open means of electing officers have made us popular in the club. INEC should come and see how we are conducting our election here with things properly handled. We have about 160 members and they are here for the election,” he said. Other members who emerged after the election were first Vice-President, Mr. Ben Amuta; second Vice-President, Joe Mmadueke; Financial Secretary, Emeka Onyeadueke; and Secretary, Vincent Ananti. posted on September 10, 2013 at 12:17AM jtnng.blogspot/
