https://9ja.news/yyfyRtWe have seen the INEC body in operation right from the beginning of this country Nigeria, but I don't think any of them have secured the confidence of Nigerians, each time we are approaching to election period, the politicians see them as an anchor to scale through even when they fail election, and this has been the reason why we have not been able to install the leaders of our choice. Listen to the words of the INEC chairman Prof. Joash Amupitan saying they will ensure transparency and fairness in the upcoming 2027 general election, to me is like the manifesto of some Nigeria politician, they only talk to gain the support of the people but in reality their words are not protected. Of a truth, the country Nigeria is lacking good leadership, and the INEC body can actually ensure transparency if they can be honest enough, but Nigerians seems to have more fear in the INEC body than even the presidential aspirant because of the INEC body did not accept bribery, there will not be corruption, and the choice of the Nigeria majority will emerge.
Am encouraging the the INEC chairman, Prof. Joash Amupitan to stand by his words irrespective of the pressure the political parties might mount on him, he should remain steadfast, and defend his integrity because someone who has built integrity will ever be respected, and honoured than someone who sold the happiness of his people for money.
INEC should help Nigeria build a better country that we all desire, because of bad leading, our wealth is is being used to build other nations while we exclaim in the mist of wealth and plenty of natural resources.
