Nigeria’s Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has admitted that there were hitches in the presidential and National Assembly elections conducted on February 25 across the country.
Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chairman, disclosed this on Saturday, at the meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) in Abuja, Nigeria.
He told the RECs that it was imperative for the commission to review performances from last Saturday’s election.
Yakubu noted that the elections were painstakingly done but it came with issues ranging from technology, delay by election officials, attitudes of political parties’ agents among others.
The INEC Chairman stated that a lot of lessons have been learnt from the presidential elections ahead of the Governorship and State Assembly elections.
