Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has expressed concern over what he described as the lack of commitment by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to improving Nigeria’s electoral process ahead of the 2027 general elections.
In a statement on his X handle on Friday, Atiku said expectations remain high that INEC will collaborate with the National Assembly to strengthen the country’s electoral laws to ensure credible and transparent polls.
Atiku revealed that he met with a European Union delegation led by Barry Andrews, a member of the European Parliament and head of the 2023 EU Election Observation Mission to Nigeria, along with EU Ambassador to Nigeria, Gautier Mignot.
