The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has made a strong commitment to the people of Edo State, promising that nothing will make them fail in delivering a credible and transparent electoral process. This statement was made in the lead-up to key elections in Edo, reflecting INEC’s dedication to ensuring that the votes of the citizens are accurately counted and respected.
INEC, under the leadership of Chairman Mahmood Yakubu, has been under increasing pressure to maintain the integrity of Nigeria’s electoral system. The statement "Nothing will make us fail Edo people" highlights the commission’s determination to address concerns over electoral malpractice, voter disenfranchisement, and security during elections. INEC is aware of the challenges often associated with elections in Nigeria, including logistical issues, vote-buying, and violence at polling stations, and is taking steps to mitigate these risks.
To back up its pledge, INEC has been implementing various reforms to improve the electoral process in Edo and nationwide. This includes the use of technology like the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) to ensure that only eligible voters cast ballots and the results are electronically transmitted to avoid manipulation. These measures aim to restore trust in the electoral process and guarantee that the will of the people is accurately reflected in the outcome.

INEC’s commitment also involves extensive voter education campaigns, urging citizens to participate actively in the elections, cast their votes peacefully, and report any suspicious activities that could undermine the process. The commission has assured the people of Edo that it is working closely with security agencies to ensure that the elections are safe and fair.
By making such a strong declaration, INEC aims to reassure Edo voters that their democratic rights will be protected and that the commission will uphold its responsibility to deliver a free, fair, and transparent election. This commitment is essential for strengthening Nigeria’s democracy, as INEC continues to face scrutiny over its handling of elections in various states across the country.
