Former President Olusegun Obasanjo says Nigeria must appoint new, credible leaders for the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC with short tenure to prevent corruption and re-establish trust.
The former President spoke during the Chinua Achebe leadership forum held at Yale University, USA.
In his keynote address at the forum titled ‘Leadership failure and state capture in Nigeria,’ he said INEC officials need thorough vetting to prevent partisan appointments. He also said that there should be an implementation of clearly defined financial regulations for political campaigns to ensure transparency and accountability.
