President Buhari Receives INEC Chairman, Commissioners

President Muhammadu Buhari, on Tuesday, received the presence of the Chairman and Members of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) at the Presidential Villa Abuja.
It was gathered that INEC chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, was joined by five commissioners of the commission at the meeting held at the First Lady’s conference room at the State House in Abuja.
Though the agenda and details of the meeting are yet to be disclosed, it could, however, be connected to the recent attacks on INEC facilities across the country.
Recall that Professor Yakubu in May lamented that the commission’s facilities have witnessed at least 41 attacks within the last two years
However, in the last four weeks, 11 offices of the commission have been either set ablaze or vandalized, according to the INEC chief.
On Monday, the election agency vowed to conduct the Anambra governorship election, which is scheduled to hold on November 6, despite increasing levels of insecurity across the country.
