Dr. Abah, do you mean Okey is now to be blamed. I think the job at INEC should be a collective responsibility from the Chair to the Commissioners and the Director. In any system, any weak link will destroy the system itself. I might be wrong though, only my humble opinion.
Today, I was sworn in for my second 5-year term as President of the African Development Bank. I just wanted to say a VERY BIG “Thank you” to all of you for your extraordinary support, prayers and good wishes. May God bless each and everyone of you!🙏🏾💕
