A joint delegation from the Joint Mission of Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and United Nations (UN) led by United Nations Special Representative of the Secretary-General for West Africa and the Sahel, Dr. Mohamed Ibn Chambas during a courtesy visit on Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Abuja, yesterday.
The UN Rep. imparted the commission on efforts taken by the joint mission to draw the support of other stakeholders towards the achievement of a peaceful and credible election in Nigeria in 2019. Mr. Chambas stated that they had commenced interactions with candidates on ensuring a conducive environment for the conduct of elections. In his words; “Yesterday, we had an audience with President Muhammadu Buhari and he assured us of his determination as chairman of ECOWAS and the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to do everything within his powers to ensure that credible, transparent, free and fair elections are conducted in 2019.”
With the unraveling instability of the Nigerian political parties whose members have been defecting from one party to the other out of the sudden change of support, Nigerians can only hope that President Buhari keeps his promises made to not just the UN and ECOWAS but mainly to the Nigerian people whom these elections affect the most.
