BEVERLY HILLS, July 08, (THEWILL) – The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has revealed that he will speak very soon on the INEC server controversy trailing the conduct and outcome of the 2019 general elections.
Yakubu spoke at the conclusion of a session on the review of the 2019 General Elections with the media in Abuja.
Yakubu said since the server matter was an issue before the Presidential Elections Tribunal, he will speak after the final judgment on all petitions.
He urged interested Nigerians to go and read the statements on oath by the petitioners and the defendants to have a full grasp of the issues surrounding the controversial server.
Yakubu also revealed that INEC plans to create more Polling Units (PUs) for accessibility to make voting faster and easier for the electorate saying the swing in the nation’s demography has led to a population surge in some cities.
He said while the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) has had 562 Polling Units since its creation, the population of FCT has doubled over the years.
The nation presently boasts of 119, 973 PUs in 8,809 wards in a country with 84,004, 084 registered voters.
Apart from Polling Units, the INEC chairman said delimitation of constituencies has become imperative.
