The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has explained why it has not been commenting on the 2023 General Elections, despite the urge to do so.
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said this at a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) in Abuja, on Tuesday.
He said the commission has consciously not joined in the commentaries in the immediate aftermath of the election for several reasons.
The INEC boss said practically anything coming from the commission could be cited by litigants as either justifying their claims or an indication of bias against them
Yakubu also added that the commission has received the police report on the suspended Adamawa REC, Yunusa Ari, saying INEC would soon take appropriate actions on him
On the agenda, the meeting was to review the February general elections and also discuss preparations for the off-season governorship Elections in Kogi and Imo in November this year.
