The European Union (EU) has announced plans to provide additional funding to strengthen human rights protection and prevent election-related violence in Nigeria ahead of the 2027 general elections.
This is a very good news if truly the European Union will be funding human rights so that there will be no violence during the next presidential election. But is it possible that there will be no violence during election in Nigeria? I do not think I have seen such before in presidential election. But I hope this time it can be different, but I doubt it.
I don’t think it will really help much.
all arms of government and their bodies in Nigeria are corrupt.. This so called human rights body NHCR are supposed to be independent with the help and support from at least an arm of government which is corrupt.
But I doubt that’s really going to help much even if they do part of their job.. the last election came with a lot of evidence and violations of human rights, all those allegations and evidence are no where to be found today.
Besides there are still some insiders that will still betray whatever they plan. I haven’t read the funding but I hope it’s not money
