Onochie whose nomination as an Independent National Electoral Commission Commissioner by the President attracted nationwide outrage recently further stated that Nigerians should borrow a leaf from Americans whom she claims are defending their democracy and the integrity of the country’s electoral process despite ‘denigrating’ comments by US President Donald Trump who lost his re- election bid to Democrat Joe Biden last month.
“While President Trump is denigrating America’s electoral system, Americans are fiercely defending the integrity of their electoral body, that’s patriotism,” Onochie stressed, adding, “We must stand by our institutions as they make progress towards serving us better.”
