The National Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof Mahmood Yakubu, has disclosed that the commission was assured that the Senate could reconvene next week to consider its budget for the 2019 elections.

Yakubu said this while responding to questions from journalists after a meeting with the Senate President, Bukola Saraki, and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, in the Senate building in Abuja, on Wednesday.

He said “The most important thing to say is INEC was invited to meet with the National Assembly leadership on how the proposed budget for the 2019 elections can be speedily considered and appropriated by the National Assembly.

“We have been assured of speedy passage of the budget perhaps as early as next week, N242bn is the total amount proposed.
“We are now more energised, more reassured that our plans for the 2019 general elections are absolutely in progress. We have from today exactly 191 days to the opening of polling units by 8 am on Saturday, February 16, 2019.
“There are activities we have to undertake for a minimum of six months to the Election Day and six months to Election Day kick-start from the 15th of August. It means we have eight days to the commencement of these activities.

“We are confident that all the grey areas will be ironed out and as far as INEC is concerned, our own component of the cost of 2019 elections will be speedily appropriated by the National Assembly.”

Worst Senate in the history of Nigeria.
Bunch of confused soul.

Shameless heads.

Let the impeachment of the Daura cow commence

How much is your share in the billions you're asking for?

And the drama continues

Yinxies:
Holiday has ended

No mind dem

Fear anybody that meets with saraki

Is it not the same Inec chairman declared wanted by a federal high court judge?

The Judge went as far as asking Nigerians to immediately call the police on sighting the inec boss either in the mosque or anywhere.

Yeye dey smell

Politics

You are telling the country when senate will resume sitting but you have refused to obey court summons.
Government of impunity

cool

After agreement has been reached on the percentage per head.

cool

see my signature

Bubu must be scratching his balls now. Ipob, though peaceful and non-violent are terrorists. Herdsmen, violent cowards that take pleasure in slaughtering people while the sleep are brothers that should be accommodated. This is Nigeria. Land of no justice or equity. God is watching and will pay

Since their first plan failed, let’s see how they will stage another foul play again just tarnish pmb’s administration.

INEC Chairman now National Assembly spokesman.

Hehehe

So this guy is yet to be arrested despite court order.

Which way Nigeria

You will not honour a simple court summon but expect another arm of the law to honour your overbloated election Bill which I know you can't defend ..If I was the Senate we would had attached a proviso forcing you to honour that court summon before we listen to your over bloated budget .

Okay

Useless rascals. They should remain on recess forever.


Now, they've been reduced to the level now where they can't come out to talk to us, but through INEC chairman.

smh
