The Archbishop Emeritus of Abuja, John Cardinal Onaiyekan, has called on the Federal Government and electoral stakeholders to restore public confidence in Nigeria’s electoral process, warning that growing voter apathy could threaten the credibility of the 2027 general elections.
Declining voter turnout in recent elections was a reflection of widespread distrust in the electoral system, the Catholic cleric said while speaking on Frontline, a current affairs programme on Eagle 102.5 FM, Ilese-Ijebu, Ogun State, stressing that the trend must be urgently reversed.
He said democracy can only thrive where elections are free, fair and credible.
“Real democracy is based on free and fair elections. No democracy that does not have free, fair and credible elections can produce good governance. Elections have consequences. “Bad elections, bad governance, bad governance, misery among the people.”
Onaiyekan warned that many Nigerians may not turn out for the 2027 polls if they think the outcome of the election is already decided. “My fear is that if it is very clear to Nigerians that, no matter what happens, the APC will win, then most people won’t even bother to go to the election. And even if the government, the real power, wins it will not bring a real victory. Good government cannot be delivered in any way.”
“There has never been a free and fair election in Nigeria. Both the government and the electoral bodies should work to restore trust in the electoral process,” the Cardinal said.
“I think it is in our interest and in the interest of the government which has all the powers to make sure that the trust of the people in the electoral process is restored so that we can get at least 50 per cent of Nigerians to vote. “If people see that the electoral field is fair and equal for everybody, then people will know their votes will count,” he said.
Democratic governments, he pointed out, unlike military administrations, draw their legitimacy from the electorate, and therefore must remain accountable to the people through credible elections.

“We didn’t talk about elections when we were under military rule, and the military boys who were ruling us didn’t claim to be ruling in our name. Now we have democracy and the rulers say they are ruling in our name. “We can’t stay silent when people who say they are working in our name aren’t,” he said.
The former Catholic Archbishop of Abuja also renewed his call for broad electoral reforms, arguing that the conduct of security agencies is crucial to credible elections, not only the independence of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).
“Even if INEC is neutral, the outcome of the election is also dependent on the activities and performance of the security agents who claim to be securing the election but often times intimidate people.
He called for a review of the process for appointing INEC’s leadership, saying the current arrangement raises questions about the independence of the commission.
“We know that the government in office is the one that appoints INEC. “We have to find a way around that because if the government in power appoints INEC, then it is difficult to have a fair contest unless you have a very strong INEC chairman who decides to stand up against all pressures,” he added.
“We have seen in the past that even with peace accords, there has been violence during elections,” said Onaiyekan, who recently led the National Peace Committee in facilitating the signing of a peace accord by political parties on the August 15 Osun State governorship election, but stressed that they were still necessary.
He called on all political actors to conduct themselves in a peaceful manner and give voters the opportunity to exercise their democratic rights without fear or intimidation.
“We are just praying and hoping that peace will prevail and that the ordinary people will be allowed to cast their votes while politicians hold back and do not destroy the whole process because of their own political ambitions,” he said.
