THE common refrain from the Prof. Attahiru Jega-led Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, is that it is doing all within the confines of its powers to conduct a credible governorship election in Osun State on August 9. Certainly, a majority of the electorate expect nothing below the bar of excellent performance from INEC.
