President Muhammadu Buhari on Tuesday met with the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu.

Professor Yakubu was joined by five INEC commissioners at the meeting, which held at the First Lady’s conference room at the State House in Abuja.

The meeting may be connected to the recent attacks on INEC facilities across the country.

On May 27, Professor Yakubu said its offices and facilities have been attacked 41 times within the last two years.

However, in the last four weeks, 11 offices of the commission have been either set ablaze or vandalized, according to the INEC chief.

On Monday, the election agency vowed to conduct the Anambra governorship election, which is scheduled to hold on November 6, despite increasing levels of insecurity across the country.

President Muhammadu Buhari says the persons behind the attacks on facilities of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) will “soon have the shock of their lives”.

The president says his government will get “harder” on those hellbent on destroying Nigeria.

He said the sponsors and orchestrators of insecurity in the country are doing so because they want his administration to fail.

The president spoke on Tuesday after he received a briefing from Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of INEC.
