The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) announced on Tuesday that it has received the necessary funds for the Edo State governorship election scheduled for September 21, 2024.
Professor Mahmood Yakubu, INEC’s Chairman, shared this update during an inspection of the Commission’s facilities in Benin City. He confirmed that all funds have been allocated to the state and its 18 local government offices prior to the recent fuel price hike.
Yakubu expressed satisfaction with the non-sensitive materials already in place for the election. He described the visit as a routine assessment to evaluate the state’s preparedness, including inspections of local government areas and mock accreditation exercises to test the systems.
“We have visited three local government areas—Oredo, Egor, and Ikpoba/Okha—and observed mock accreditation exercises to ensure the integrity of our systems for voter accreditation and results upload,” Yakubu said. “The preparations in these areas and the technology we are deploying are impressive, and we are confident in our readiness.”
Yakubu assured the public of INEC’s commitment to a credible, fair, and free election, emphasizing that the Commission does not have a candidate. He urged all registered voters in Edo State to participate actively in the election and choose their preferred candidate.
The INEC Chairman reiterated that the Commission would uphold the integrity of the electoral process and respect the voters’ choices.
