We’ve resolved fuel and cash scarcity issues, 2023 elections will hold as planned — INEC tells Nigerians
Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of INEC, says the forthcoming elections will hold as planned. Yakubu spoke after a meeting with the Federal Executive Council (FEC) presided over by President Buhari on Wednesday, February 8.
This comes as protests rock different parts of the country over the scarcity of fuel and new Naira notes. According to him, “I can tell you two of these challenges quickly.

The first one is the availability of petroleum products. We had a meeting with the NNPC to ensure that the commission doesn’t suffer any encumbrances in the movement of personnel & materials for the elections.
Again, we had an engagement yesterday with the Governor of the CBN & he assured us that the commission will not suffer encumbrances on that score.
So, be rest assured that the elections will hold as scheduled on the 25th of February for the national and on the 11th of March for the state’s elections.”
