Yakubu Remarks by Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, at an emergency meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (REC) held yesterday in Abuja. •Let me commence by welcoming you all to this emergency meeting. The Commission has had an exceedingly eventful two months since we last met on 8th March 2021. Some of the events have been very positive and encouraging, but others have been less so. • On the positive side, the commission conducted 28 out of 32 bye-elections across the country since the 2019 General Election, in addition to four end-of tenure Governorship elections in Bayelsa, Edo, Kogi and Ondo States. The bye-elections were held in 20 States involving six Senatorial Districts, seven Federal Constituencies, 18 State Constituencies and one Councillorship Constituency in Abaji Ward of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). Indeed, it is now clear that the Commission must reconcile itself with the fact that elections have become an all-year round undertaking in Nigeria.
