The incumbent Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Mahmood Yakubu has made history as first Nigeria's head of the electoral body to be reappointed for a second term. Yakubu, a Professor of History whose tenure expires on November 9, 2020, has been nominated by President Muhammadu Buhari as INEC Chairman for a second term in office. History revealed that no Chairman of the country's electoral body has served more than one term in office from;
Eyo Esua (1964–1966),
Michael Ani (1976 – 1979),
Victor Whisky (1979 – 1983),
Eme Awa (1987–1989),
Humphrey Nwosu (1989–1993),
Okon Uya and Sumner Dagogo-Jack (1994–1998),
Ephraim Akpata (1998 – 2000),
Abel Guobadia (2000-2005),
Maurice Iwu (2005-2010) to
Attahiru Jega (2010-2015).

However, the case of Yakubu became different when President Buhari in a letter to President of the Senate, Ahmad Ibrahim Lawan said in accordance with the provision of Section 154 (1) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) sighted by BusinessDay stated that: "I am pleased to present for confirmation by the Senate, the nomination of Professor Mahmood Yakubu for appointment as Chairman, Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for a second and final term". According to a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina on Tuesday recalled that Yakubu was first appointed by President Buhari in November 2015.

The former Director-General of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFUND) under whose watch the heavily criticized 2019 general elections as well as the Bayelsa and Kogi offseason Governorship polls were conducted has recently written his name in gold, following the outcome of the September 19 Edo and October 10 Ondo Governorship elections. This was sequel to the introduction of INEC RESULT VIEWING (IReV) that enabled Nigerians to view Polling Unit results in real-time as the voting ended in the recent polls which reduced the incidences of results manipulations. IReV which was first experimented with in the August 8th, 2020 Nasarawa Central State Constituency bye-election and subsequently the Edo and Ondo polls, according to INEC was to further strengthen the transparency in the election result management system which has remained a major source of mistrust in Nigeria's electoral process. The innovation has restored some level of confidence in INEC as at the end of the Edo Governorship election even the worst critics of the Commission and the electoral process, such as the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) applauded the use of the virtual portal by INEC to upload results directly from the polling unit as it said the application made it impossible for electoral violators to hijack the electoral process. This position was also recently buttressed by the umpire body itself at different fora even as it is making frantic efforts to achieve e-voting as evident in the recent demonstration of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) by 40 companies with the Commission key staff.

Also, the INEC Chairman, Yakubu alluded to the fact that the IReV for instance has helped in the quick collation of results and reduced manipulation in the recent polls. According to him: "A lot has been achieved aboard with a simple application of technology. So, the encumbrances to the deployment of technology in the transmission of election results should be removed as part of this process".

STI Q3 result expected to be solid.

lol. i still consider the risk for the damages, but with a dividend yield of 20%, when i entered at 0.25, i can afford to weather the storm. Waiting for Q3 result and abit of insider info .

In view of the current nationwide protests, I was tracking the market this morning to see if investors will activate massive dumping of stocks like Zenith so we can mop up like March.

Na lie ooo, no one is dumping. It seems people don wise up. Investors have rationalised that after sometime the youth will calm down.

i shall be back, small correction ongoing.

megawealth01:
Haaaaa, why you sell WAPCO? That one never do any bull ooooo

sold zenith, fbnh, wapco.

megawealth01:
Not all shares will be affected... I'm sure BANKS stocks experience correction. This is not a recommendation... I still have banks stocks I only sold off my zenith and GTB

Offloaded some units today. Profits taking time. this is not when to be greedy. The protest might add pressure to the NSE soon. better to watch from outside with cash waiting for new entry opportunities.

the future is still bright for caverton. with their MRO and Flight simulator coming fully operational next year, their revenue will be diversified.
For now expect their income to be flat, but regardless their PE ratio is still good for now.

There is always hope. However, Carverton is seriously impacted by current situations.

Depending on the price you bought, it could be for long term or you cut losses.

However let see what become of this current bull run.
