Mike Igini Declares 'Goodnight' to Nigeria After INEC Tenure

Mike Igini, the former resident electoral commissioner of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), publicly announced his decision to "say goodnight" to Nigeria, expressing deep frustration over his ten-year tenure, which he characterized as a waste. During an interview on Channels Television, Igini discussed his past efforts toward electoral reform and the ongoing controversies surrounding the country's electoral laws.

He revealed that his decision was influenced by two years of reflection and engagement with the public, leading him to conclude that meaningful change requires active societal involvement. Igini referenced the ancient Greek philosopher Pythagoras to illustrate his point about the need for understanding and engagement in societal issues.

He lamented the struggles he faced in his quest for a better Nigeria over the past three decades, particularly during his decade with INEC, and emphasized the importance of reconsidering the future of the nation.
