Professor Joash Amupitan on Thursday said he will carry out a general audit of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), especially the logistics for conduct of the 2023 general elections, to unravel the challenges of the electoral management body and proffer suitable solutions in collaboration with relevant stakeholders.
Amupitan disclosed this during his screening at the Committee of Whole by the Senate.
Quoting from a ruling of the Supreme Court, Amupitan said that the use of INEC’s Results Viewing Portal (IREV) was not a part of the results collation system of the Commission.
He however pointed out that this fact was not made known to Nigerians prior to the 2023 general elections.
“A lot of people thought it was part of the results collation system but the Supreme Court said it is not,” he said.
He said that there is a need for an electoral offences commission to help investigate and prosecute electoral offences.
“INEC does not have the capacity for investigation and prosecution at the moment,” he said.
