The National Peace Committee (NPC) revealed it was under immense pressure to persuade the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to halt or cancel the 2023 Presidential Election results. Led by General Abdulsalami Abubakar, the NPC disclosed this during the public presentation of its report on the elections, highlighting attempts by partisans to influence the outcome.
General Abubakar emphasized that the NPC’s role is moral, focusing on mediation and peace promotion, not legal intervention in electoral processes. The report provides insights into the challenges faced during the election and offers recommendations for future improvements.
