Nigeria's Electoral Commission’s Nominees List Is Constitutionally Defective

Nigeria's Electoral Commission’s Nominees List Is Constitutionally Defective

Senior Advocate of Nigeria Femi Falana has faulted the nomination of 14 persons for confirmation as Resident Electoral Commissioners for the Independent National Electoral Commission.
Falana says President Muhammadu Buhari failed to comply with the provisions of the Constitution in nominating the 14 persons.
He says the President had previously consulted the Council of State to appoint the Chairman and members of INEC in compliance with the provisions of Section 154 (3) of the Constitution.
The nominations have since generated controversy as some of the nominees have been accused of being members of the President’s party, the All Progressives Congress.
Falana says the move also contradicted the promise of the President to ensure a free and fair general election next year.
