We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all Nigerians with whom our delegates met during this long-term observation process including government officials, the Chairman and members of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), polling officials, party members, candidates, citizen election observers, civic activists and members of the National Peace Committee for their hospitality and cooperation. Four years ago, Nigeria held elections that were recognized internationally as free, fair and credible. The 2019 general elections fell significantly short of standards set in 2015. Citizens’ confidence in elections was shaken. Nigeria holds great promise with a dynamic youth population, substantial human and material resources and a vibrant civil society. Election stakeholders, especially the federal government, National Assembly, political parties and INEC should take concrete steps to address the concerns of citizens with regards to the polls in order to rekindle their faith in the power and possibility of credible elections.

We could not have forgotten the customary topsy-turvy relationship between the Executive and T legislative arms. It used to be a norm for the two arms to be at loggerhead at the expense of the public good. For nearly two decades, Nigeria's democracy has been postmarked by counterproductive OFFICIAL MONTHLY JOURNAL OF THE APC/PGF posturing between the Presidency and the lawmakers, even when the October - November 2020 majority of them are from the same governing party who ought to be prosecuting the same manifesto. This has gone on for so long that many Nigerians believe it was the ideal. And the ideal, which is what we have witnessed since the 9th National Assembly Editor-in-Chief was inaugurated, is erroneously considered to be a misnomer. LANRE ISSA-ONILU Our cover story in this edition cannot be more apt. The Progressives Team brings you a Editor thought-provoking interview of the cerebral and dexterous President of the Senate, Mr. EDEGBE ODEMWINGIE Ahmed Ibrahim Lawan.
