International Society for Civil Liberties and Rule of Law, Intersociety, has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, of deliberately disobeying court orders for aggrieved political parties and their presidential candidates to inspect relevant electoral materials domiciled in the commission’s office.
The Rights Group, Intersociety has expressed shock that despite widespread public outcries over the alleged rigging, the commission, including the chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu has remained unperturbed, unmoved and remorseless.
The group also alleged that Prof Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chair is threatening aggrieved politicians with lawsuit over alleged defamation of character for calling on him to resign on the ground of lack of character and integrity.
The Group also stated that it is also obvious that resorting to threat of character defamation lawsuit by INEC Chairman is a ploy to intimidate and muscle the fundamental human rights of tens of millions of aggrieved voices aggrieved Nigerians over presidential (alleged) electoral fraud of 2023.
The Group maintained that INEC and its Chair must be stopped from nefarious conducts capable of plunging Nigeria into intractable dangers and obey court orders and allow aggrieved parties access to the electoral materials.
