Current composition of INEC is illegal – Ekweremadu

The Senate has expressed concern over the operations of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and alleged that the commission had been illegally conducting elections since last year. Also yesterday, the Senate warned of looming crisis in the aviation sector as a result of economic crisis in the country which it said had left the sector “gasping for survival.” It said the situation portended grave danger to air safety in Nigeria. The parliament according to a motion moved by the Deputy Senate President, Senator Ike Ekweremadu, said whereas a reliable, effective and credible electoral commission was a symbol of viable and promising democracy, the same could not be said of the Professor Mahmood Yakubu-led INEC.
