Ex-INEC Commissioner Mike Igini calls 10 years at commission a waste, nearly quit Nigeria
Former INEC Resident Commissioner Mike Igini revealed he considered leaving Nigeria after 30 years of public service, calling his 10-year tenure at the commission a "waste." Speaking on Channels Television's Politics Today, Igini cited frustration with Nigeria's electoral struggles as the reason for his decision to "say goodnight to Nigeria" over the past two years. However, persistent public appeals prompted him to reconsider, drawing inspiration from Pythagoras' philosophy of returning to society to study human behavior. Igini described his initial resignation as a response to feeling his efforts toward national reform were wasted, but ultimately chose to stay after widespread calls for his continued service.
