Sam Amadi, director of the Abuja School of Social and Political Thoughts, stated that the Supreme Court determined the outcome of the 2023 presidential election.
Amadi chastised the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for failing to prosecute the 2023 presidential election.
Amadi stated that the National Assembly should investigate INEC’s expenses during the 2023 general election.
He also asked INEC to explain why its server collapsed during the 2023 presidential election.
The public affairs analyst further stated that the electoral umpire should be able to explain to Nigerians why the results were not collated and declared electronically, as required by the INEC electoral Act as amended.
He spoke during a Labour Party event commemorating this year’s Democracy Day, according to a statement released by the party’s National Publicity Secretary, Obiora Ifoh.
“Nigerians and indeed the National Assembly should be courageous enough to probe INEC expenditure during the 2023 general elections.
“The failure of the INEC server during the presidential election with all the money given to them. It is appalling that no one spoke about the huge amount of money given Mahmood Yakubu and all the INEC commissioners to prosecute a failed election, failed because the Supreme Court has to step in to determine the result of elections.”
He noted that the ongoing electoral reform must reject the inconsistency of allowing the presidency to appoint the INEC chairman.
