The Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof. Mahmood Yakubu, said on Thursday the commission has been joined as a respondent in 1,241 post-election cases ahead of this month’s exercise.
Yakubu stated this when the delegation of the Nigerian Bar Association (NBA) led by its President, Mr. Yakubu Maikyau, visited him at the commission’s headquarters in Abuja.
He said: “Some of the cases have gone to the Federal High Court, some are before the Court of Appeal, and others are before the Supreme Court. On per-election litigation alone as of Monday this week, February 6, INEC has been joined in 1,241 cases making us one of the most litigated against agencies in the country.
