Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of
the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), says the commission is
not anticipating the postponement of the general elections.
Speaking in an interview with The
Osasu Show, Mahmood said INEC is “fully prepared for the election,” adding that
the Osun election had a low turn out because it was an off-season election.
“We first and foremost
deliberately planned the 2019 general elections,” Yakubu said
“I can’t foresee any possibility
of postponement. INEC is not even contemplating the postponement of the 2019
general elections.”
He made it clear that registered
voters who have not collected their PVCs will not be allowed to vote.
The INEC chairman also spoke on
the failure of President Muhammadu Buhari to sign the amended electoral bill as
presented by the national assembly.
He said INEC’s duty was to make
sure the processes are as transparent as possible, and are free and fair.
Yakubu said “there are other
actors that play roles during elections, they also have to play their roles to
safeguard the processes to have acceptable outcomes”.
The Osasu Show full interview
with the INEC chairman airs on AIT (Dstv channel 253) at 9am on Friday.
