Some civil society organizations, or CSOs, acting through the Democracy Protection Coalition (DPC), called on the board of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to suspend Prof. Yakubu Mahmoud as chairman of the commission due to the way the elections for the National Assembly and the President were handled.
It also encouraged INEC to pay attention to Nigerians’ complaints over the results of the elections on February 25.
The group expressed concern that voter indifference and a decline in youth enthusiasm and involvement in the political process could ensue if INEC continues to ignore Nigerians.
Convener and Executive Director of the PADDI Foundation, Mr. Eze Eluchie, briefed reporters in Lagos and requested that Yakubu resign.
