The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has said that it cannot expose some of the sensitive materials it used in the conduct of the 2019 general elections.
INEC’s statement is coming at a time the candidates of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the last presidential election, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar and President Muhammadu Buhari had gone to court seeking to inspect materials used in the election.
But INEC, while giving reasons why it was difficult for any party or candidate to inspect some sensitive materials used in the conduct of the general elections, attributed it to its policy.
“Despite our policy of transparency, the commission cannot expose some of the sensitive materials used in the 2019 general elections,” INEC chairman, Prof Mahmood Yakubu said during the 2019 Press Freedom Award held on Monday night in Abuja.
