Senator Obiorah Proposes Bill to Reform INEC Appointment Powers
Former Senator Ikechukwu Obiorah proposes a bill to strip President Tinubu of the power to appoint INEC members. Obiorah argues that allowing political leaders to appoint electoral officials leads to election rigging and undermines democracy.
The bill seeks to restructure INEC with elected commissioners to ensure impartiality and fairness in elections. Obiorah's proposal aims to address longstanding issues of electoral manipulation and corruption in Nigeria.
The move reflects growing calls for electoral reforms to enhance transparency and credibility in the electoral process.
