Prof. Attahiru Jega, a former chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has expressed worry on recent changes in the political environment.
Jega claims to be visibly anxious about the results of the national elections in 2023.
This was said by him on Wednesday in Abuja during a colloquium hosted by the Electoral Hub.
Jega, however, expressed confidence that Nigeria will overcome its current difficulties.
“I have a lot of fears about the outcome of the election. But you will see people like me are what I’ll call an incurable optimist about the future of our country.
“So I remain hopeful that in spite of the recklessness that we see, the vandalism that we see perpetrated by many of our so-called leading politicians, we are hopeful that people will mobilise and become effectively engaged in the electoral process, so that we have a good outcome in 2023,” Jega said.
