The commission had fixed a stakeholders meeting for 2pm at the National Collation Centre in Abuja, but Sunday Vanguard gathered that the stakeholders’ meeting could not immediately commence because of the parley with the country’s former leaders.

“The Chairman and National Commissioners would have been here, but they are currently meeting with former Heads of state. But they will soon be here,” Oluwole Osaze-Uzi, INEC’s Director of Voter Education, Publicity, Gender and Civil Society Liaison told the stakeholders.
