Nigeria, April 15 -- Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of undermining Nigeria's democracy, alleging that the electoral body is being used to frustrate the will of the people.

Atiku made the allegation on Tuesday while addressing delegates at the African Democratic Congress (ADC) national convention in Abuja.

The former presidential candidate said there was "clear and obvious evidence" that INEC was being manipulated to scuttle democratic processes in the country.

"I will not end this without indicting the chairman of INEC and INEC itself," he said. "It is clear, it is obvious, the evidence is there. INEC is being used to scuttle democracy in this country."
