Commending Yakubu’s choice, the All Progressives Congress (APC) said there were marked improvements in INEC under his leadership.
In a statement Tuesday by the APC deputy national publicity secretary, Mr Yekini Nabena said the country’s election processes may be far from being perfect, “however marked improvements have been recorded in a series of recent elections conducted.”
He said: “Technological innovations recently introduced and deployed by INEC, has greatly improved the credibility and efficiency of our election processes. We must continue to support and invest in these innovations.
“The Party also urges INEC to continually embark on regular voter education and sensitisation to improve voter turnout and check illegalities such as vote buying and other emerging frauds in our electioneering processes.
“In all elections, valid votes must count and the majority will of the electorate must prevail. This is a creed INEC and indeed all partisans must subscribe to in the interest of our democracy.”
