The Director of News, Arise News, Sumner Sambo, has urged President Bola Tinubu to stay away from defence of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC.
Sumner wants the President to understand that it is not his (Tinubu) place to tell Nigerians if the electoral umpire has been fair or not.
Sumner said this in response to President Tinubu, who on Tuesday defended INEC ahead of the 2027 general elections, rejecting concerns regarding the electoral body’s impartiality and accusing political oppositions of making baseless claims about the Commission.
The President expressed these views during a meeting with the leadership of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of Nigeria, CBCN, headed by its President, Most Rev. Matthew Ndagoso, at the State House in Abuja, as stated in a release by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.
