‘Joke Carried Too Far’ — INEC Chairman Mahmood Yakubu Denies Alleging Threats To His Life

Professor Mahmood Yakubu, chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has denied alleging threats to his life amidst protests against the commission’s conduct of the February 25, 2023 presidential election.

Although aggrieved political parties and candidates in the just concluded presidential election have openly said they would seek redress in court, reports circulated a few days ago that the INEC chairman claimed that he was getting threats over the outcome of the election.
