Before I proceed to the main topic, let’s quickly discuss the history of Independent National Electoral Commission. 

Brief History of the Nigerian Independent National Electoral Commission 

The administration of democratic elections in Nigeria stretches back to before independence, when the Electoral Commission of Nigeria (ECN) was established in 1958 to organize the federal elections in 1959. Before to 1958, regional laws and governments governed and administered elections. Ronald Edward Wraith, an expatriate, led ECN, which included four Nigerian members from each region and the Federal Capital Territory of Lagos.

The Federal Electoral Commission (FEC), created in 1960, was in charge of the first post-independence federal and regional elections in 1964 and 1965. Before to the 1964 election, the Chief Election Officer, Kofo Abayomi, resigned, and some NCNC and Action Group officials questioned the credibility of a free and fair election. Following Nigeria’s military coup in 1966, the electoral body was dissolved. The dictatorship of General Olusegun Obasanjo established the Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO) in 1978 to organize the 1979 elections that ushered in the Nigerian Second Republic led by Alhaji Shehu Shagari. It also held the 1983 general elections.
