USA Africa Dialogue Series - Thought For Today

There are processes leading to a referendum. 

If those processes are strictly adhered to, the referendum will be legitimate, if there is even a slight deviation, the referendum wouldn't.

Precisely, if people in a particular location cannot freely exercise their freedom of choice, any referendum conducted in that location would not be legitimate.

For now, people in Southeast Nigeria are not free to make a free will choice because of the activities of the pro referendum killer cells known as "unknown gun men"

So, any referendum conducted in Southeast Nigeria now would not be a true representation of the opinion of the people of Southeast Nigeria and so, such a referendum would not be legitimate.
