The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, on Friday, inaugurated the Electoral Logistics Committee (ELOC).

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) was established in 1998 and is the electoral body which oversees elections in Nigeria.

The team has the responsibility to ensure hitch-free logistics ahead and during the forthcoming 2023 general elections.

Prof. Mahmood Yakubu stressed that the committee was critical to the successful conduct of the polls.

Yakubu recalled how flights that conveyed essential election materials in the 2019 poll couldn’t land in some airports due to poor visibility.

He urged the team to submit periodic reports through the chairman of the committee, an INEC National Commissioner.

“The ELoC is an inter-agency committee established close to general elections for a specific objective. It is, therefore, ad hoc in nature.

“We are determined that never again should elections be postponed at the eleventh hour on account of logistics.

Section 27(3) of the Electoral Act 2022 empowers INEC to request the support of the armed forces, the chairman Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said.

Let them ensure that election materials get to every nook and cranny of Nigeria before election starts.

Peter Obi is surely winning this election.
