The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured Anambra electorate that the November 6 Governorship election will be violence-free despite the incessant attacks on its facilities.
The INEC National Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, gave the assurance during the national retreat on the validation of the draft INEC 2022-2026 Strategic Plan and Strategic Programme of Action.
Yakubu also stated that the recent attack on the commission’s facilities provided it with ample opportunity to organize free, fair and credible election in the State.
Professor Mahmood, who was represented by a National Commissioner and Chairman of Outreach Committee, Dr. Adekunle Ogunmola, expressed hope that the attacks would not be on a continuous basis.
He maintained that the Anambra elections will not be a difficult thing to plan, as there has been similar situation in the past, in Ondo State, where card readers were burnt.
