Legal luminary, Aare Afe Babalola, has suggested the Federal authorities to postpone the 2023 basic elections and set up a six-month interim government after President Muhammadu Buhari’s tenure.
Talking at a press convention in Ado-Ekiti on Monday, April 18, Babalola stated the interim government’s responsibility can be to provide a brand new structure that will deal with insecurity, financial, political, and other excruciating ills bedeviling the nation.
He averred that if the 2023 elections are carried out, it’ll recycle the identical crop of leaders, who will plunge the nation additional into bankruptcy, economic melancholy, and insecurity.
I, due to this fact, strongly advocate that we must always postpone the 2023 elections till the Interim Government put in place after the expiration of Buhari’s government has put in place a brand new truly People’s Constitution.
No election underneath this structure will bring about younger men, good and clever Nigerians who wish to serve with out taking cash. I counsel that there needs to be a physique on the native, state and federal levels that may display whoever wants to be elected not the so-called primaries they’re doing now.”
