Eko Hot Blog reports that The Independent National Electoral Commission has committed to discipline any of its employees who may have acted illegally during the Saturday, February 25, Presidential and National Assembly Elections, including any ad hoc or collation staff.
INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this on Saturday in Abuja at a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners.
He said, “As we approach the Governorship and State Assembly elections, we must work harder to overcome the challenges experienced in the last election. Nothing else will be acceptable to Nigerians.”
“All staff found to be negligent, whether they are regular or ad hoc officials, including Collation and Returning Officers, must not be involved in forthcoming elections.”
“RECs must also immediately initiate disciplinary action where prima facie evidence of wrongdoing has been established.”
They have been calls for the INEC chairman’s resignation after the Presidential election on Feb 25,2023.
The opposition parties have since taken the matter to court to reclaim their mandate.
