This comes as the House of Representatives moves to transfer the authority of conducting local elections from State Independent Electoral Commissions (SIEC) to INEC, raising constitutional concerns and the need for a comprehensive amendment.
In an interview with ARISE NEWS on Friday, Prof. Nwokocha expressed doubts about INEC’s ability to resolve electoral issues at the local government level. He argued that INEC’s performance in the previous Edo elections fails to address these problems adequately, even noting the “hula balu in the country whether or not the last general elections were transparent.”
