INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this at a meeting with the Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs) in Abuja.
Yakubu who revealed that appropriate action will soon be taken on those that committed electoral infractions during the election including top officials of the commission further indicated that the electoral body intentionally refrained from making commentary since after the election.
