The Spotlight: Rethinking INEC Appointments

A fresh wave of electoral reform is brewing in the House of Representatives! The Committee on Constitution Review is pushing a bold proposal that could reshape how Nigeria appoints the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

This proposed amendment seeks to give the National Judicial Council (NJC) a critical role in selecting the INEC boss — a move aimed at boosting the commission’s independence, credibility, and transparency.

This idea isn’t new. Back in 2007, the Electoral Reform Committee led by the late Chief Justice Muhammadu Uwais strongly recommended reforms that would shield INEC from political interference — especially from the executive arm.

Now, years later, lawmakers are circling back. Could this finally be the turning point for Nigeria’s electoral credibility?

1. Should the judiciary play a stronger role in appointing INEC leadership to reduce political influence?

2. What other reforms do you think can make INEC truly independent and effective?

Church of Nigeria Lays Down the Law on Politicians in Pulpits

The Church of Nigeria, Anglican Communion, has drawn a clear line in the sand — church altars are not campaign grounds.

In a bold move to safeguard the purity of worship, the Church has released firm guidelines on how politicians and public officials should be received during services and programmes. The goal? To preserve the sanctity and spiritual neutrality of Christian gatherings.

This decisive directive was delivered by the Primate, Most Revd Henry Ndukuba, during the Episcopal Consultation held in the Diocese of Nike, Enugu. In a follow-up memo on Friday, Director of Communication Korede Akintunde stressed that the Church could no longer ignore the growing intrusion of political drama into worship spaces.

1. Should religious institutions go further and bar politicians entirely from addressing congregations?

2. How can churches maintain political neutrality without silencing prophetic voices on justice and governance?

3. Is the blending of politics and worship a threat to faith, or a reflection of societal reality?
