Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The Convener of the Civil Society Situation Room, Clement Nwankwo, has urged stakeholders and all meaning Nigerians to work beyond hope toward credible elections in 2027.<\/p>\n

Nwankwo, while stressing the need for deliberate action to ensure credible elections in 2027, warned that hope without effort is useless.<\/p>\n

The Convener stated this on Monday during an interview on Channels Television\u2019s Politics Today.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I say I\u2019m hopeful but do nothing, then nothing happens. If I say I\u2019ve lost hope, then we do nothing. I have seen dictatorship and the brutality of unconstitutional rule. Nothing surpasses ensuring that our democracy survives,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Nwankwo emphasized that the country must go beyond optimism and actively work toward electoral reforms.<\/p>\n

He also faulted the internal structures of political parties, saying that a lack of internal democracy and fairness remains widespread.<\/p>\n
