The commission established to handle the electoral activities in the Second Republic of Nigeria was the Federal Electoral Commission (FEDECO). FEDECO was established in 1978 under the military government of General Olusegun Obasanjo, to oversee the general elections that ushered in the Second Republic of Nigeria in 1979. FEDECO was responsible for conducting free and fair elections, voter education, voter registration, and the announcement of election results. FEDECO was composed of a Chairman and ten other members, who were appointed by the President. The Commission had the power to conduct investigations into electoral malpractices, and to disqualify candidates found to have engaged in electoral misconduct. FEDECO conducted two general elections in 1979 and 1983 before it was dissolved by the military government of General Muhammadu Buhari, which took over power in a coup in December 1983. Therefore, FEDECO was the commission established to handle the electoral activities in the Second Republic of Nigeria.
