The Independent National Electoral commission (INEC), has announced the withdrawal of sensitive electoral materials from the custody of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
The Chairman of INEC, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, disclosed this in Abuja at a symposium with the theme “The Electorate: A Conversation on Elections in Nigeria”.
He said in the interim, the CBN will no longer be in charge of election materials beginning with the Ekiti state governorship election.
According to Yakubu, the commission took the decision to prevent such materials from being compromised.
The decision by INEC to withdraw the sensitive materials from the CBN’s custody could not be far from the failed Presidential attempt by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria, Godwin Emefiele.
