The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has disclosed that it will be setting sail to consult the Abdulsalami Abubakar-led National Peace Committee(NPC) before the campaigns by political parties for the 2023 general elections kicked off.
Recall that the former Head of State and respected cleric, Bishop Mathew Hassan Kukah, have been working on peaceful elections through the signing of Peace Accord by candidates and political parties on the platform of the National Peace Committee.
In the words of the Commission, managing next year’s elections is so big that it demands vital consultations with stakeholders.
Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chair, pointed that the Commission will organise a relevant discussion on electoral logistics involving logisticians, security agencies, labour unions and other critical stakeholders.
Mahmood made this known at the retreat on the Ekiti and Osun off-cycle gubernatorial elections in Lagos.
