Human Rights Activist, Femi Falana (SAN), on Wednesday criticised the Federal Government under President Muhammadu Buhari and former President Goodluck Jonathan for abandoning the panel reports to make the Independent National Electoral Commission truly autonomous and free from political interference.
Falana in his keynote address at the annual general meeting and conference of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations said it was doubtful if the country would have credible elections in 2019 because there is little or no public trust in the commission.
He said, “On the credibility of our elections, former President Musa Yar’Adua was very honest in 2007 when he declared that the election that brought him to power was flawed.
He, therefore, set up a judicial commission of inquiry headed by Justice Muhammed Uwais, who later became the Chief Justice of Nigeria.
