The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, told staff in a message that they must account for all the votes gotten during the Ondo State gubernatorial elections coming up on Saturday, October 10.
Yakubu told them this in a message.
He explained that during the Edo elections, he urged INEC staff to work towards a free, fair and credible election and he wanted them to replicate it in the Ondo elections.
“Our staff members, security agencies, and other stakeholders did not spare any effort in ensuring successful conduct. Nigerians and friends of Nigeria are pleased with the outcome and we are encouraged by their commendations.
“However, we cannot afford to rest on our oars. Another end-of-tenure Governorship election is upon us. There is now an even higher expectation on Ondo State,” he said.
