Human rights lawyer, Mr Femi Falana (SAN), has urged the
Independent National Electoral Commission and the Nigeria Police
Force to prosecute godfathers and thugs who undermined the last
elections.
Falana said this in a statement on Sunday.
He said, “Since the Federal Government has refused to set up the
electoral offences tribunal recommended by the Uwais panel, INEC
and the police should arraign in court the godfathers who sabotaged
internal democracy in some of the parties and the armed thugs who
committed other grave electoral offences during the last general
elections.”
Falana noted that the reports of the local monitors of the last
general elections had been ignored by the Federal Government and
other stakeholders.
He said, “Before the report of the ex-colonial masters on how to
conduct credible elections in Nigeria is adopted, the neo-colonial
Federal Government must be compelled to implement the
recommendations of the Justice Mohammed Uwais Panel, Ahmed Lemu
Panel and Ken Nnamani panel on electoral reforms.”
