2023: INEC not ready for credible election – CAN raises alarm

The outgoing President of Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Samson Ayokunle, expressed doubts about the ability of the Independent National Electoral Commission to conduct a transparent election in 2023.

Ayokunle spoke during a symposium on the leadership crises in Nigeria, which held in Abuja as part of activities marking the 12th General Assembly of CAN.

He said, “I don’t think INEC is ready for credible elections. I relocated from my former residence to a new one in the same town and reported to INEC since last year, but up till now, the commission has not made any update in my polling unit.

“I went again in February this year and was told that an approval has to be given from the commission’s headquarters in Abuja. Is Abuja in heaven?

“Many Nigerians perceive this as just a ploy by INEC to disenfranchise qualified voters. INEC should not be the problem between us and credible election in 2023.”
