The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has called on its staff and Nigerians to uphold accountability, discipline, and integrity as preparations are in top gear for the upcoming governorship elections in Ekiti and Osun states.
Chairman of the Commission, Prof. Joash Amupitan (SAN), made the call in his message to Muslim faithful as the world marks the end of the 2026 Eid-el-Fitr.
The message issued by his Chief Press Secretary, Adedayo Oketola, Amupitan, noted that the end of Ramadan represented “a victory of the spirit over the self” and should inspire renewed commitment to credible electoral processes.
He described the Ekiti and Osun elections as tests ahead of the 2027 general polls.
The INEC chairman urged the commission’s staff across the country to adopt a zero-tolerance stance on misconduct, noting that professionalism remains non-negotiable.
