Mike Ejiofor, President of the Alumni Association of the Institute for Security Studies (AANISS).
The event held today (yesterday, 26th.), 26th March at the Nigerian Air Force Conference Centre, Abuja.
Key takeaways from Igini’s lecture include:
1. The need to limit the role of courts in determining the winners of elections.
2. That only the “Triumvirate” of INEC, security agencies, and the judiciary, working alongside the media and organised civil society, if sincere and with integrity, can guarantee free, fair, and credible elections in Nigeria.
