Prof. Attahiru Jega,A former Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission,says the biggest challenge confronting the commission is the reckless mindset of politicians, who believe that winning an election is a do-or-die affair.
According to Jega,all attempts by the country to reform the electoral process would be a waste of effort except the politicians changed their reckless mindset.
Jega spoke in Lagos on Saturday at the 50th birthday ceremony of the National Legal Adviser of the All Progressives Congress, Dr. Muiz Banire (SAN).
Jega recalled that prior to the 2011 and 2015 general elections, which he supervised, the Nigerian electorate had been frustrated and become apathetic, so that they no longer wanted to come out and vote.
