INEC boss Mahmood Yakubu
The leadership of the National Assembly on Wednesday met with a delegation of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), led by its Chairman Prof Mahmood Yakubu, at the National Assembly.
Senate President Bukola Saraki stated that the meeting discussed the funding of the 209 general elections and the electoral act amendment bill.
Saraki in his meeting with the INEC delegation questioned why the request for funds is coming to the National Assembly nearly three weeks and not a few months ago.
The Senate President had on Monday convened a meeting with the INEC boss to hold on Tuesday which was later postponed, following the siege that was laid to the National Assembly by officers of the Department of State Services (DSS).
