Former President Olusegun Obasanjo has urged for shorter tenures for the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to enhance credibility and reduce corruption in Nigeria’s electoral system. He emphasized that appointing new and trustworthy leaders to INEC could help rebuild public confidence in elections.
Obasanjo made these remarks during a keynote speech at the Chinua Achebe Leadership Forum held at Yale University in Connecticut, USA. His address, titled “Leadership Failure and State Capture in Nigeria,” criticized the 2023 general elections, labeling them as a “travesty.”
