A former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili has commended the European Union Election Observation Mission, saying it did not trade off electoral credibility.
Ezekwesili said the report on the 2023 election “surprisingly restored a measure of confidence in election monitoring around the world by not mincing words at all.”
In a statement via her verified Twitter handle on Tuesday, the former Minister claimed that unlike its report on Nigeria, Observer Mission Reports were beginning to be cookie-cutters that seemed to trade-off electoral credibility.
She disclosed further that for elections to continue credibly in Nigeria Independent Observer groups must remain apolitical and objective in the coverage of elections.
Ezekwesili insisted that the EU report is an actual reflection of what transpired in the Feb 25 elections as it resonated with the complaints of alot of Nigerians
