The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has said that INEC's allegiance and loyalty are to Nigeria and Nigerians who want free, fair, credible, and verifiable elections supported by technology which guarantees transparent accreditation and upload of polling unit results for citizens to view in real-time on election day.

Yakubu also appealed to political parties and other stakeholders to eschew violence and rancour and conduct their campaigns peacefully, while pledging that INEC would play its part diligently and conscientiously in the elections.

“Once again, another General Election is upon us, the 7th since the restoration of democracy in Nigeria in 1999. Over the last 23 years, we have made a steady progress in the twin areas of electoral reform and election administration. Although a lot of work still lies ahead, it is generally acknowledged that our elections are getting better and citizens’ confidence in the process is increasing.

“Similarly, we will continue with our regular engagement with political parties, civil society organisations, the media and other critical stakeholders. Above all, Nigerians deserve the right to know about the progress we are making and the challenges we confront in our preparations for the General Election. Accordingly, in a couple of weeks, the Commission will start bi-weekly media briefings followed by weekly briefings as we get closer to the election.

Yes, that was the agreement.

Very good. E pain APC die

Kayodeoshinubi Yes we know that now. But the question is, what are you doing about the overwhelming underaged kids in the voters register and who registered them. What of multiple registration in their numbers up north.

The fate of Nigeria is in God's hands, but INEC has a critical role to play. If it fails, posterity will not forgive it, and the commission's leaders will face the wrath of God.
