His name is Chukwuemeka Ujam and he’s from Enugu state. Two weeks after he should have been in court answering to the electoral offence, INEC rewarded him with a document emblazoned with the commission’s official seal. To the shock of all lovers of decency, an election rigger escaped any form of sanction from the institution statutorily mandated to insist on same. In the next four years, if
