The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, said the incessant attacks on its offices have created ample opportunity to prepare for a violence-free election in Anambra State.
Speaking at a national retreat on the Validation of the draft INEC 2022-2026 Strategic Plan and strategic programme of Action, INEC National Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, who described the attacks as disturbing to the Commission, said it has however provided it with ample opportunity to organize a free, fair and credible election in the State.
Despite the Commission’s risk management procedure, Professor Mahmood, who was represented by a National Commissioner and Chairman of Outreach committee, Dr. Adekunle Ogunmola, expressed hope that the attacks would not be on a continuous basis.
He maintained that the Anambra elections won’t be a difficult thing to plan, as there has been similar situation in the past, in Ondo State, where card readers were burnt.
