The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has attributed the level of credibility recorded in the 2019 general elections to the involvement of

the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission in monitoring the elections across the country to prevent compromises through vote buying and vote selling.

“The point I am making here is that even while you were waging war against vote buying on one hand, we were still able to see in you, as an agency of government trying to checkmate vote compromises in other forms. That actually made the elections to be acceptable. “The mandate given us was that we should collaborate and interface with all the agencies of government to deliver acceptable elections.

“The commission is going to start the process of Continuous Voters Registration very soon. Those who were unable to register will register. Those whose cards are still in our custody will be able to come and collect their PVCs. As I speak, we have over 700,000 PVCs uncollected,” he informed.
