The lawmaker representing Kaduna Central at the upper chambers of the National Assembly, Senator Shehu Sani, has stated reasons the 2019 general elections cannot be free and fair.
Senator Sani pointed out that a government that cannot obey the rule of law cannot boast of organising a free and fair election.
The senator in a tweet on Monday said, “When a Government habitually disobeys court orders and factually violates fundamental rights, there’s enough material evidence to denounce its attitude to rule of law and doubts its commitment to free and transparent elections.
“Rule of law is the horse and free elections is the cart.”
