Solomon Soyebi, INEC
National Commissioner in-charge of Voter Education and Publicity, said
during a press conference held at INEC’s office in Benin, that “the
governorship election will go ahead on Saturday, Sept. 10 as scheduled.”
Soyebi, who said INEC as the body
statutorily set up to conduct elections in the country, would not take
orders from any institution with regard to the performance of its
constitutional duties.
“We have therefore weighed all the
consequences of a postponement in the election and have resolved to go
ahead with the conduct of the election on Saturday as scheduled,” he
said.
