The All Nigeria
Peoples Party (ANPP) senatorial candidate for Ondo central district in
Ondo State, Ademola Ariyo, has challenged the chairman of the
Independent National Electoral Commission, Attaihru Jega, to provide a
level playing ground for all the political parties that will
participate in the general elections next month.

Mr. Ariyo, who
spoke with reporters in Ondo town at the weekend, said the successful
conduct of the election by INEC will go a long way in ensuring that
Nigeria remains a united country. He urged Mr. Jega to put his name in
the good book of Nigerians by not being loyal to the ruling Peoples
Democratic Party.

He also expressed
optimism that the leadership of INEC will give Nigerians credible
polls, and urged everyone to ensure that one-man one-vote counts.

He supported the
jumbo pay being received by members of the National Assembly, saying
such fund, if well implemented, would help in bringing development to
different communities.

“There is nothing
wrong with the jumbo pay if judiciously used; it will assist people
like us to bring meaningful development to our constituent,” he said.

He noted that
people are only raising alarm now because the set of lawmakers in the
National Assembly are not making judicious use of the fund.
