Our politicians are not democratic and that is the reason why some of them keep crossing from one political party to the other,” he said.

Yakubu assured that INEC would continue to improve on its logistics to enable it conduct hitch-free election in 2019.

He further explained that conducting election in one state is more difficult than conducting general election.

“It is more difficult to conduct election in one state than conducting general election, because people will be more focused on the state where the election is taking place,” he said.

Yakubu said there were improvements in the last Osun election, saying that voting materials arrived at the polling unit early.
