The National Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said they will do everything possible to avoid the mistakes recorded in the previous elections, especially in Edo.
The INEC boss disclosed this during a press conference on Monday when he arrived at Akure, Ondo state capital.
Yakubu said poor logistics issues and result management were the two challenges that hindered a smooth gubernatorial election in Edo.
His words, “We have learned valuable lessons not only from the last election but also from previous ones. Essentially, there are two main challenges: first, the logistics of ensuring polling units open promptly on election day; and second, managing results effectively.
“My assurance to voters in Ondo State is that they will see significant improvements in both processes.”
He assured the people of the state that election materials would arrive early and that results would be managed appropriately.
Meanwhile, Yakubu explained that his visit was aimed at observing the situation firsthand and engaging with stakeholders to ensure a peaceful, free, fair and credible election.
