INEC under fire over threat to withhold Edo, Ondo election results
Orbih said it was wrong for INEC to threaten not to declare the results of Edo or Ondo governorship elections if the exercise is disrupted.
The politician told the News Agency of Nigeria in Benin on Friday that the statement, credited to INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, was disturbing and worrisome. Yakubu spoke at a virtual workshop, organised by the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, and the Centre for Democracy and Development.
He explained that the decision was part of a new approach the commission was adopting to ensure that elections do not turn out bloody like what was witnessed in Kogi State.
