Ondo Guber: We’ve learnt our lesson – INEC makes promises

Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, on Monday promised improved logistics and result management during the November 16 governorship election in Ondo State.

Yakubu stated this during an assessment tour of the INEC office in Ondo State on the preparation for the governorship election, on Monday in Akure.

According to him, the commission received positive reports from “our state office in Akure but we decided to come for a readiness assessment”.

“We have learnt a lot of lessons, not only from the last election but also, from previous elections.

“Basically, there are two challenges; the first one is logistics for election so that polling units can open promptly on the election day.

“The second is result management, and my assurance to voters in Ondo State is that they are going to see fast improvement in these two processes,” he said.

Yakubu said he was in the state to meet with the stakeholders, including political parties, civil society organisations, the media, security agencies and the commission’s staff members to assess their readiness.
