A former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, has described the 2023 general elections as “credible in many substantial aspects”.
Jega, speaking in a live appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Tonight on Monday, said his favourable assessment of the polls was not necessarily in defence of the incumbent INEC chairman, Prof. Yakubu Mahmood.

“I would say that, in many substantial aspects, it was credible,” he said.
