National President, Arewa Youth Consultative Forum (AYCF), Alhaji Shettima Yerima, has reiterated his unwavering trust in the credibility of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Reacting to the comments made by the Presidential Candidate of the Labour Party in (LP) in the 2023 election Mr. Peter Obi, about the Judiciary, Yerima in a statement yesterday expressed his firm belief that INEC is a reputable institution that consistently upholds the principles of fairness, impartiality, and transparency in conducting elections in the country.
According to him, Obi’s acknowledgment that the Judiciary, rather than INEC, posed the greatest challenge to Nigeria’s democracy further strengthened his conviction in the integrity of the apex electoral umpire in the land.
“The AYCF has long maintained that INEC is a credible, impartial, and unbiased institution that consistently conducts credible elections.
“Peter Obi’s remarks have vindicated our stance and affirmed that INEC is not the primary obstacle to democratic electoral practices in Nigeria.
“We emphasized the importance of strong institutions like INEC in ensuring the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral process.
