Nigerian rights lawyer faults presidential election results
Ebun-Olu Adegboruwa, a human rights lawyer, has spoken out against the conduct of the recent presidential election in Nigeria, stating that voters were suppressed and intimidated, which made the results unacceptable to many Nigerians. In a statement released on Thursday, Adegboruwa pointed out that politicians tampered with election results and there were logistical problems on the part of the electoral commission, among other issues.

Adegboruwa stated that there were numerous cases of voters being threatened, hurt, and even killed, which was a clear indication of a deliberate attempt to compromise the electoral process. He noted that this was completely unacceptable and went against the principles of democracy, where the people's mandate is expressed freely through their votes.

The lawyer argued that the legitimacy of any government comes from the people of Nigeria, who must express their will through a transparent and accountable electoral process. He expressed concern that the election did not meet these standards, despite the allocation of funds to the electoral commission ahead of time to ensure a free, fair, and credible process.

Adegboruwa also raised concerns about the autonomy of the electoral commission, which is mandated by the constitution to be independent. He called on the commission to demonstrate integrity, accountability, and transparent adherence to the laws regulating the electoral process and its own guidelines.

The human rights lawyer urged all aggrieved parties to pursue lawful remedies through legitimate avenues created by law to achieve justice. He emphasized that the pursuit of truth and justice is necessary for the peace and progress of the country.
