INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu Says Commission Has Nothing to Hide

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC today said contrary to what some people might think, it had nothing to hide regarding the conduct of the 2023 general election.

The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, stated this at the Post Election Review of the 2023 General Election with media stakeholders in Lagos.

Yakubu said there were many positive things that came out of the 2023 elections despite the many challenges.

The Chairman admitted that despite the challenges during the last elections, there would be continuous improvement by the commission in the conduct of elections nationwide.

Yakubu stated that, as part of the review it was undertaking, the commission would like to know what constraints the media experienced right from the process of accreditation, to access to locations of polling units and collation centres during the elections.

He said, going forward, it would also want to get appraisals on the security arrangements and advice for improvement.

He also said the commission might approach the National Assembly to amend the law to accommodate Nigerians that were unable to vote because of the nature of their jobs
