The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has decried the cost implications of conducting elections in Nigeria, describing it as exorbitant and burdensome.

Yakubu stateld this on Friday while defending the 2024 budget implementation before the National Assembly.

According to him, despite INEC being one of the largest employers in the country, it operated on a reduced budget of N40 billion, significantly lower than the N80 billion initially requested.

The INEC boss stressed the financial strain this has placed on the commission’s ability to carry out its responsibilities effectively.

He appealed to the lawmakers to organize a retreat where both the legislature and INEC can collaborate, exchange ideas, and find solutions to the pressing issues affecting the electoral process in Nigeria.

“We need a major conversation, the commission cannot continue conducting elections all year round,” he said.

He further lamented the deteriorating state of INEC’s facilities, particularly the 860 buildings across the country, which are in urgent need of repair.

Yakubu, therefore, called on the National Assembly to ensure that the electoral body, which has now submitted a 126 billion naira budget proposal, receives adequate funding.

Says a criminal who rigged out the Real and Authentic winner of the 2023 presidential election

Says an individual who told Nigerians and the entire world that election results would be ed in real-time on the IREV portal on election day. Meanwhile, as Nigerians earnestly waited for the results on the IREV portal, a notorious narcotics trafficker, certificate forger, and power grabber engaged in criminal state capture was declared the winner in the dead of the night, like a thief. By morning, Nigerians wore long faces and were unhappy. When Nigerians asked, they were told there was a glitch.

Two years after, Nigerians haven't been told what caused the glitch.


Since then, Nigerians have continued to wear long faces, never knowing happiness, and are made to go through extreme pain, untold hardships, hunger, and starvation inflicted upon them by the worst president and regime in the history of this country, through wicked and draconian economic policies.

A MAN WITH EVIL SOUL.
