'Most people in public office today should be in prison' — Ex-INEC Commissioner Mike Igini

Mike Igini, a former resident electoral commissioner for INEC, said most politicians currently in public office should be in prison. Speaking on Channels Television, he warned that the 2027 general election will test Nigeria’s democracy, with INEC, public officials, the judiciary and political candidates all facing scrutiny. He condemned what he described as a shift from the rule of law to rule by individuals and said Section 97 of the Electoral Act, which bars compelling a candidate to support a political party, is being violated daily.
