Former Lagos State governor and ex-Minister of Works, Housing and Power, Babatunde Fashola, has described elections as inherently imperfect exercises, urging Nigerians to recognise the complexities involved in conducting nationwide polls and to focus on strengthening democratic institutions beyond the electoral process.
Fashola made the remarks on Friday while speaking at The Platform, a public policy forum held in Lagos as part of activities marking Democracy Day.
