John Onaiyekan Urges Electoral System Overhaul in Nigeria for 2027 Elections

Former Archbishop of Abuja, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, demands a genuine overhaul of Nigeria's electoral system to ensure transparent polls and the birth of ethical leaders. He emphasized the need for free and fair elections in the country, highlighting the persistent challenges faced in the electoral process.

Onaiyekan, along with other prominent figures, stressed the importance of addressing the root defects in the electoral system rather than blaming citizens. The call for reform comes as Nigeria prepares for the 2027 general elections, aiming to promote democracy and prevent manipulation by a select group of politicians.
