That the INEC owes the people of Nigeria an apology cannot be over-emphasised. It is hardly surprising that INEC’s action has weighed heavily against it, removed so much from its reputation and exposed it to accusations, even if wild, of seeking to truncate the democratic process. INEC, therefore, has itself to blame and must therefore do everything possible to redeem itself within the next three weeks. Africa and the world cannot accept anything less than the best elections in Nigeria. The inconveniences of the current times notwithstanding, they should see this process to its conclusion and ensure Nigeria and democracy triumph.
