Hajia Amina Zakari, the Independent National Electoral
Commission (INEC) National Commissioner, has reiterated the commission’s
determination to announce the presidential and governorship elections within 48
hours after voting.
She spoke on Saturday in Birnin Kebbi, Kebbi, during a
public sensitisation and practical demonstration of accreditation and election
processes.
Zakari said that the demonstration was to enable the
commission to make amendments in areas of difficulty.
According to her, the demonstration will also enable
electoral officers to be familiar with the process of accreditation and smooth
election.
She appealed to registered voters to ensure they were in
queue on time for accreditation, assuring them that collation of votes would be
done properly after voting.
She said that the new modifications for the 2015 general
elections would ensure free, transparent and fair elections.
Zakari said that changes in the date of the election had
enabled the commission to perfect the process.
“The commission would treat observations and ensure smooth
conduct of the election proper and to avoid hitches and criticisms’’, she said.
She also promised that adequate security would be provided
at all stages of the elections.
