The Senator representing the Federal Capital Territory, Ireti Kingibe, on Wednesday charged the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to be independent during the 2027 general elections.
Kingibe said INEC must conduct the 2027 general elections in a manner that would reflect the will of Nigerians.
She gave the charge in a statement she issued to mark Nigeria’s 66th Independence anniversary.
The lawmaker said Nigeria’s independence would have little meaning without the freedom of citizens to choose their leaders through credible elections.
