INEC Asserts That The Election Must Go On And That 93.4 Million People Are Eligible To Vote.

Only 93 469,008 Nigerians, according to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), are eligible to cast a ballot in the election scheduled for next month. In addition, the Commission said that it is not contemplating canceling or delaying the election because of a security danger.

This was said by Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the chairman of INEC, yesterday in Abuja while providing political parties with information on registered voters.

Leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Labour Party (LP), and New Nigeria Peoples Party (NNPP), among others, were present at the conference.

He asserts that the elections for governorship and state assemblies set for Saturday, March 11, 2023, as well as the presidential and National Assembly elections set for Saturday, February 25, 2023, will go as planned. He insisted that any claim about the postponing or cancellation of the election was not the Commission’s official stance.
