The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has attributed its success of Saturday’s Ondo State governorship election to faithful implementation of its plans and collaboration with stakeholders.
INEC’s Director of Voter Education and Publicity, Mr Oluwole Osaze-Uzzi, stated this in an interview in Abuja on Sunday.
“Just like every other election, we planned toward it and we were faithful to the implementation in ensuring the election was not just successful but also considered to be free and fair.
“We learn from recent elections and make consequential preparation for the election.
“We would not have been successful without the collaboration of stakeholders, especially the security agencies, National Youth Service Corps, civil society organisations, observers, media and others.
“Most importantly, the people of Ondo state collaborated with us by obeying all the rules and regulations guiding the election.’’
Uzzi said they rejected vote buying and made their votes count. This represents how much they want their votes to be counted. This is how it should be and this is how it was planned to be.
“With the understanding and collaboration of stakeholders as demonstrated in Ondo, there would be mutual benefit to all’’, he said.
He called for the continued support of stakeholders in future elections adding that the commission was committed to improving the country’s electoral process.
The director pledged that the commission would continue to improve on identified little challenges with a view to improving on the electoral system and rebuilding its confidence in the citizens.
