'We'll Punish Officials Who Sabotaged Presidential/NASS Polls' – INEC

The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, today, vowed to punish its officials, including ad-hoc or collation personnel, who may have been found wanting in the conduct of the February 25 Presidential and National Assembly Elections.

Professor Yakubu stated this at a meeting with Resident Electoral Commissioners, RECs. According to him, “As we approach the Governorship and State Assembly elections, we must work harder to overcome the challenges experienced in the last election. Nothing else will be acceptable to Nigerians.

“All staff found to be negligent, whether they are regular or ad hoc officials, including Collation and Returning Officers, must not be involved in forthcoming elections. RECs must also immediately initiate disciplinary action where prima facie evidence of wrongdoing has been established.”
