The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, says Nigeria’s democracy is being threatened by the predominance of money politics.
Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, said this at a one-day colloquium on emerging issues that will shape the 2023 general election.
The INEC chairman said there are three critical challenges ahead of the 2023 election, listing them as insecurity, fake news and money politics.
He said INEC is concerned about the security situation in the country as it prepares for the elections.
He, however, noted that the commission has been meeting with security agencies to address the challenges.
The chairman added that the commission would try as much as possible to be transparent during the elections in order not to give room for fake news.
