Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured that the presidential election on Saturday (today) will be concluded and a winner declared as quickly as possible.

It took the electoral umpire over two days to declare the winner of the 2019 presidential election.

But INEC Chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, said the Commission will speed up the process this year.

“I just want to say that we will ensure that it (result declaration) will be done speedily. I can’t put a finger on the number of days or number of hours it will take, but it will be done speedily. We are aware of the anxiety and the need for us to conclude the process quickly, it will be concluded quickly,” Yakubu said during a media briefing in Abuja on Friday.
