In a statement, Kingibe stressed that Nigeria's independence would be meaningless without the freedom of citizens to choose their leaders through credible elections.
She called on INEC to maintain its independence and conduct the elections in a manner that reflects the voters' choice, while also appealing to security agencies, political leaders, voters and young Nigerians to play their constitutional roles in ensuring peaceful and credible elections. Kingibe emphasized that Nigeria's independence symbolizes freedom, sacrifice, and the resilience of the nation's founding fathers, urging them to preserve democratic values.
She also urged Nigerians to reflect on the state of the nation's democracy and the importance of citizens' right to choose their leaders.
