A chieftain of the New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), Buba Galadima, has issued a stark warning that Nigeria could face civil unrest if the federal government moves forward with an alleged plan to appoint a retired Court of Appeal judge as the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
Speaking on Arise Television, Galadima claimed that a “notorious” retired judge is being considered for the role. “If that man becomes the chairman of INEC, be rest assured that this government is inviting a civil war in this country,” he said.
Galadima’s comments reflect a deep-seated distrust in the nation’s electoral system. He accused the current administration of a disregard for the rule of law and claimed that the current leadership of INEC is already compromised in favor of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
He alleged that the current INEC chairman was previously a party official for the APC and was rewarded with the position after the party’s election victory. According to Galadima, if the rumored appointment goes through, it would be another sign that the government is trying to manipulate the electoral process.
“If this man is appointed INEC chairman, then forget about elections in Nigeria. Because there would be no elections in this country, and it will create chaos,” he warned.
Galadima called on Nigerians to be vigilant and prevent individuals with questionable records from overseeing the nation’s elections.
