Former Resident Electoral Commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mike Igini, has appealed to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu not to sign the proposed electoral bill, warning that it is a recipe for chaos and could undermine Nigeria’s democratic gains.
Speaking during an interview with ARISE NEWS on Wednesday, he said, “It is my, indeed, humble recommendation to Mr. President that you are a man of history. You are a senior man to very many of us in the struggle.
“What is going to be presented before you is a recipe for chaos. It’s a recipe to undermine all that you have done while we’re in the trenches. And also remember that at a time when the PDP was in office and when we were in office and they were saying that there was going to be a federal might, some of us stood out to say ‘no, in 2015, it’s going to be the might of the people, not federal might, but the might of the people through the ballot that should determine what will happen.’ You should be a man of history. What is put before you, please take it back.
Don’t sign it.”
