Chairman of Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Attahiru Jega, has assured Nigerians of credible elections that will meet their aspiration.
This is just as a group under the aegis of Middle Belt Concerned Youths kicked.....
against the use of permanent voter cards (PVCs) and smart card readers in the forthcoming elections.
Jega spoke yesterday at a meeting with resident electoral commissioners (RECs) in Abuja.
The meeting, apparently aimed at reviewing preparations for the forthcoming elections, Jega said would afford INEC the opportunity to examine existing gaps and other things to do in the next few weeks.
According to him, the meeting was meant to have a final review for the preparation of the elections, adding that it would review outstanding matters relating to the distribution of PVCs and the mock demonstration of card readers.
He said the commission needs to do everything possible to ensure near perfection and called for the support of all stakeholders.
He noted that the commission will engage elections process within the legal frame work and the laid down code of conduct.
Jega charged candidates to respect the peace accord signed both at the Federal and state levels.
He underscored the need to ensure peaceful elections, saying peaceful elections will promote stability and development for the country.
