INEC Chairman, Professor Joash Amupitan, spoke in Abuja during a meeting of the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security.

He said security agencies delivered on their promise to protect voters, election officials and materials, despite concerns linked to past elections in the South-East.


According to him, the calm atmosphere made it possible for the commission to conclude the election smoothly and declare a winner after the first ballot.

He credited effective deployment, intelligence sharing and timely responses to threats for creating a safe voting environment across the state.


As preparations begin for elections in the Federal Capital Territory, Ekiti and Osun states, Amupitan urged security agencies to maintain close cooperation with INEC.

He stressed that credible elections depend on sustained vigilance throughout the entire electoral process.
