The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Professor Mahmood Yakubu, has clarified that INEC lacks the constitutional authority to conduct local government elections, except in the Federal Capital Territory. Speaking at a two-day induction retreat for INEC Resident Electoral Commissioners in Lagos, Yakubu addressed the push for constitutional amendments to grant INEC this responsibility, describing it as a "constitutional matter." The retreat aims to prepare RECs for upcoming governorship elections in Edo and Ondo states. Join us as we discuss the implications of this with public affairs analyst Ismail Auwal. Watch now for an insightful discussion.
