Senator Abubakar Bukola Saraki has said the sanctity of office of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission and the independence of the electoral body must be respected by the political class. Senator Saraki, leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Kwara State, who was speaking in an interview on the sideline of the APC campaign in Baruten Local Government Area of Kwara State said any thing short of that would put the conduct of credible elections in jeopardy. In reaction to the allegation that the INEC chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega would be compelled to proceed on leave, the former governor of Kwara State said politicians as players in the electoral process must allow INEC as an umpire to discharge its respon sibility without interfer ence, fear or favour.
