"....we are very careful if someone says that one person is dead, because of the experience the commission had in 2015. We received a letter from one particular political party that a candidate was dead and they submitted a death certificate obtained from a government hospital. They also went to court, swore to an affidavit and his family also attested to the fact that the candidate was dead. They filed all these documents at the commission. A week later, the supposedly dead candidate turned up and said he was alive." - Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission. https://www.thecable.ng/inec-chairman-i-wont-share-my-returning-officer-role-with-anyone
