The Chairman of INEC Prof Mahmood Yakubu while briefing members of the concerned civil society organizations say, this is out of a total of about nine hundred and twenty-three thousand, one hundred and eighty-two registered voters.
Professor Yakubu says the electoral body is working round the clock to ensure logistics for the polls are hitch-free but is worried about expected violations of the electoral act.
