Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar recently received a high-powered European Union delegation, including the Ambassador to Nigeria, H.E. Gautier Mignot. The team was led by Barry Andrews, a member of the European Parliament and Head of the 2023 EU Election Observation Mission to Nigeria. Their visit focused on broad-based discussions about the future of Nigerian elections and comes as a follow-up to assess the implementation of recommendations from the 2023 general elections.
Expectations remain high that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will collaborate urgently with the National Assembly to provide citizens with election laws that guarantee transparent and credible processes, where every vote counts. However, it is concerning that two years on, there are still no clear indications that INEC has fully committed to improving the electoral process.
Despite this, efforts by civil society organizations and both local and international election observation missions, including the EU-EOM, continue to be supported, with the goal of achieving genuine electoral reforms ahead of the 2027 general elections. According to Atiku, only through credible elections can Nigeria safeguard its democracy and ensure the selection of leaders capable of promoting national unity and economic prosperity.
