Nigeria election: INEC under fire after Chairman’s boast
Mr Sesugh Akume, ANRP’s national spokesman, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos that INEC’s performance in the 2019 elections did not show that there were improvements on what happened in 2015.
Akume, however, said: “It is not true that INEC is an improved public service institution, except perhaps in a negative sense. “For instance, INEC performed poorly from mobilising the electorate to come out and vote, many registered voters were disenfranchised as they did not get their cards, all the way to failing to announce results clearly,” he said.
He also claimed that local Electoral Officers in his constituency were ignorant on basic election processes, which had implications on the exercise.
