The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Attahiru Jega, expressed his apologies over the debacle that the Anambra elections turned out to be.
He said he was sorry for the way the commission wound up “shattering the expectations of Nigerians” during the polls and that the commission failed to meet expectations with its performance.
He admitted to knowing that Nigerians were looking forward to the Anambra elections being the best ever conducted election in Nigeria, and he acknowledged that INEC failed woefully in that regard.
He has, however, said that the commission did the best it could, given the circumstances. He also stated that the circumstances which clogged the wheel of the operation were not enough to require total cancellation of the elections.
To that effect, Prof. Jega said the supplementary elections will be held on Saturday, November 30.
