Nigeria's Democracy at Stake: Urgent Action Needed to Address Electoral Infractions+30
Leading political science professor, Prof. Adelaja Odukoya, has called on federal government agencies, including the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), to take decisive action against electoral infractions in Nigeria. Speaking at a recent colloquium, Prof. Odukoya highlighted the alarming trend of electoral offenders going unpunished, which has emboldened others to break the law. He urged political leaders to prioritize the views of the people and cultivate a more democratic and inclusive approach to governance. Ogun State Governor Dapo Abiodun echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of public opinion management in bridging the gap between government and the governed.
