Former African Democratic Congress (ADC) presidential candidate Kingsley Moghalu has criticized the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for its handling of the February 25 presidential election.
Moghalu, a former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, also pushed on a total revamp of the INEC.
On Friday, he made his comments public via a tweet from his verified Twitter account.
Moghalu also questioned the election’s 28% turnout, demanding that it must be investigated to determine why it occurred after about 87 million voters received their Permanent Voters Cards, or PVCs.

He said, “Without prejudice to whoever would have won, @inecnigeria ‘s performance was woeful. The institution and election management in Nigeria need a complete overhaul. Elections must be made logistically efficient and transparent.
“The 28% turnout, being even lower than the 34% of the 2019 election, is deeply disappointing. This phenomenon needs a separate interrogation to understand why it happened when 87 million voters collected their PVCs. Such voter turnout levels undermine the meaning of democracy.”
