Nigeria’s General Polls Is Like Conducting Elections For The Whole Of W/Africa - INEC

INEC chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, stated this when he hosted a delegation from the Bureau for Public Service Reforms , according to INEC bulletin released yesterday in Abuja.

Yakubu said that the number of registered voters in the other 14 countries in West African put together is 11 million less than the number of registered voters in Nigeria. He said, “The size and complexities of the country provide the context of what we do. So anytime we conduct elections it is like conducting elections in the whole of West Africa.”Yakubu said that there are few agencies in Nigeria like INEC, considering the kind of extensive responsibilities that the commission performs.

The INEC boss said, “This is the only agency in Nigeria that is saddled with the constitutional responsibility of doing so much for our elections and our democracy. “We are doing more than managing elections, we are more or less managing our entire democracy. Some of the responsibilities that we perform are actually responsibilities that so many other agencies in other countries perform. But here we do everything.”

Why them dey feel like that? Them don conduct elections before for the entire West African region?
