An election observer group, INAHURAT has called for the immediate resignation of the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu over the irregularities that characterised the conduct of last Saturday’s general election.
The group said this would enable another person to conduct the March 11, 2023 Governorship and State Assembly elections and restore the confidence of Nigerians in the electoral body.
INEC repeatedly assured Nigerians of electronic transmission of results from the polling units to the server in line with the amended Electoral Act, 2022.
“We condemn in strongest terms observable sharp practices and fraud among others in the February 25th presidential election.
‘We, therefore, call for an independent committee to look into the activities of some officials of INEC alleged to have compromised this election. INEC Chairman, Prof. Yakubu Mahmoud, having overseen these avoidable failures, ranging from logistics, planning and execution, inability to communicate and convince Nigerians during the election could not be transmitted into their server even after 48 hours of the election.”
