The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, has said that only the people of Kogi State will determine who their next governor will be and no one else.
Addressing a stakeholders’ forum in Lokoja on Tuesday, the INEC chairman said he was determined to build and improve on the success of his predecessor, Prof. Attahiru Jega, by making Kogi State election the best ever conducted in the country.
Yakubu said INEC had recruited and trained 13,000 supervisory and electoral officials to man the 3,000 polling units across the state.
The INEC chairman also said all card readers to be used had been tested, configured and confirmed to be fit for use during the election, adding that only those with permanent voters cards would be eligible to vote.
Yakubu said that 11 resident electoral commissioners from other states had been mobilsed to see to the smooth conduct of the election.
