Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana, SAN, has urged President Bola Tinubu to put a stop to what he (Falana) described as as “the shame of bad elections in Nigeria must stop.”
He said successive regimes in Nigeria had set up electoral reform committees, but their recommendations had not been implemented.
He said, “The commitment to have credible elections in 2027 and the shame of bad elections in Nigeria must stop, and President Tinubu has a duty not only to encourage INEC to conduct good elections, he must also ensure that his promises to have credible elections in Nigeria are kept. “In the case of President Tinubu, as a leader of ACN, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu set up a committee to campaign for the implementation of the recommendations of the Uwais Panel, and one of them is that we must have independent umpires.
Falana stressed that judges should not determine the outcome of elections, given that Nigeria has the highest number of election petitions worldwide.
