General Secretary of Alliance for Credible Elections, Ms Mma Odi, has credited all the inclusive INEC elections to President Muhammadu Buhari over his failure to reconstitute the Board of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) since he came into power in May 2015.
Odi who said this on Saturday, in Abuja, also noted that if this trend of inconclusive elections by the Buhari-led Federal Government isn’t tackled quickly, it will lead to loss of confidence on INEC and the disempowerment of the voters, among others.
She noted that the phenomenon will sooner or later constitute a “threat to our hard won democracy’’ if unattended to.

“Inconclusive elections have now become the new trend rather than the exception as witnessed in some of the states like Kogi, Bayelsa, Osun FCT, Imo and Nasarawa,’’ Odi told NAN.
“The President has refused to reconstitute the Board of INEC since he came into power in May 2015 in spite of the several calls by civil society organisations and NGOs in the country.
“Lack of INEC board is affecting the smooth running of the institution and its service delivery. This is simply a breach of establishment laws,’’ she said.
