The Independent National Electoral Commission has reassured the electorate in Edo state to expect nothing less than a free and credible poll on September 19, when the governorship election is slated to hold.
The assurance was given by the INEC National Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, while fielding questions from journalists, shortly after swearing a new Resident Electoral Commissioner for Ekiti State, Tella Adeniran Rahmon, at the Commission’s Headquarters in Abuja. In his words, “let me also say that we stand by our Resident Electoral Commissioners. We know the kind of job we are doing and all manner of people come with all manner of accusations to slander officials of the Commission, essentially now to divert our attention from conducting elections in Nigeria.“We won’t be distracted; we know these shenanigans, people who have been doing this for a long time. It won’t distract us from doing the right thing.
