Ahead of Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections, President Muhammadu Buhari has discussed with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) Prof Mahmoud Yakubu at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The discussion was, according to President Buhari, at the instance of the Chairman of INEC, explaining that it was part efforts that the elections hold successfully.
The President hinted at the conversation while explaining his few minutes of lateness to the commissioning and handover of security equipment valued at over N12 billion to the military and Nigeria Police Force.
According to him, he had been grounded by the electoral body for the five minutes he kept the CACOVID group waiting, reminding all that everything needed to be done for successful elections.
“I’m being grounded by INEC. You know next Saturday is a great day for us and I take instructions from INEC so that I make sure there’ll be no excuses for the successful election,” Buhari had told his guests. (The Nation)
