Obi said that the EU report merely captured what some Nigerians knew and had been highlighting

He said that Nigerians should learn some lessons from the report and ensured that future elections were conducted in the standard and international best practices.

Obi said that the EU report clearly showed that the 2019 election was a clear set back, especially from the 2015 general election, which enhanced Nigeria’s democratic credentials at the global stage.

“I have always maintained that the process through which a person gets into an office is far more fundamental than what the person do thereafter in that office, because of the integrity of the office being occupied," he said.

Obi said that the key seven point recommendations contained in the EU report should be taken very seriously by Nigerians and ensured that necessary steps were taken for the implementations.

The former governor also urged security agencies to prevent denting their image before the global community where they had always been outstanding at peacekeeping operations.

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that the National Working Committee (NWC) of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) on Sunday, June 16, demanded for the arrest of the chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu.

The part said it was vindicated by the recent report of the European Union (EU) concerning the presidential election held on February 23 and won by President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
