Former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Kingsley Moghalu has issued a warning, stating that Nigeria’s democracy has a bleak future.
Moghalu stated that this would be the case if the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) were not independent and if electronic transmission and collation of election results were not mandated.
The former Deputy Governor said this in a post on his X account on Saturday, emphasizing that elections will remain a sham and a road to state takeover unless INEC is independent. “Democracy in Nigeria has a bleak future if @inecnigeria is not truly independent, and if electronic transmission and collation of election results is not made MANDATORY. “Else, elections simply remain a charade – a path to state capture by whichever political parties are able to,” he said.
