A call has been made for the Federal Government to ensure the independence of the electoral commission. This is to enable it conduct upcoming elections without interference. The commission's ability to work freely is seen as crucial for the country's electoral democracy.

Babajide Matthew, a governorship candidate, made this appeal, noting that the current environment allows the commission to discharge its duties. He expressed appreciation for this development, which he believes is essential for building confidence in the electoral process.

Further details about this appeal are available, including the candidate's comments on recent electoral processes and his correspondence with the electoral commission's chairman.
