 On November 11, a total of 5.4 million eligible voters will be adding to the polling units to cast their ballots in electing Kogi, Imo and Biasa states Governors. The off-cycle governorship polls will be the first elections to be conducted under President Ballat in Umbule administration. As the commission prepares for the off-cycle elections, the chairperson of the Independent National Electrical Commission, Ainek Mamud Yakubu, has said that the polling unit results of Biasa Imo and Kogi state governorship elections will be uploaded on its result viewing portal, as a matter of legal provision, only God knows the meaning of that to be honest with you, but did not promise to prompt the polling unit results will be uploaded onto the portal. The off-cycle elections in Imo, Kogi and Biasa states are scheduled for November 11, 2023. He asked that the voters of the Independent National Electrical Commission from the ​​​ ​​ ​c刀 ​Playlivrr Rian ​The pleasure is all as, to be honest with you -... — ​I guess the best place to start would be ... — ​How is an organization as reputable in election supervision regulation monitoring as yours? Yaga Afrika, how are you people preparing for the oncoming humanitarian elections in the three states? Okay, thank you so much for having me. I would like to start by saying that this will be a very depressing election because this will be the first of the election, as well as under the new election as highlighted. Again, this will be the first of the election. After the series of elections we saw 2020 next election, which actually put the truth, like what happened in 2020. Talking about the put the truth, Yaga Afrika is deployed in over 1,500 of the state, as well as to this state at the moment. Yaga Afrika, that we are sure of, deployed over 220 in each state. It has to be both for this and by outside respectively. Currently, I can say that we deployed 650 observers in the truth state. And the observers of the put the truth. And transmitting additional truth to our party, where it was supposed to be. I used the pearl of capital, my story, to observe elections. On the other hand, Yaga Afrika said the deploying of election of the state to call IRAT, it is an essential result and that is the truth, particularly on the results of each truth. Yaga Afrika will be working on downloading and analyzing the truth. Okay, Safiya. Safiya. Hello, Safiya. Before we get to uploading election results, we need to speak into some of the realities confronting us at this juncture. Presently, we read reports of alleged violent incidents in Kogi especially. What has been the feedback that Yaga Afrika is getting from your agents on the ground or from your monitoring mechanism or system. Thank you so much. Exactly as you said, there has been a series of reports and cases of electoral violence. We've seen different stakeholders calling the different ourselves to stay calm. But I think in the last few, the issue has a little bit more prominent in the emo state. Emo is because of the security in emo state. From the level of the state, we've also seen that people participating in election of the people of political activities have become a target in the state. In the state, these people are not necessarily the people of political activities. That is, sorry, in some other case, people say personally, these kinds of cases have become a target in the political activities. The common basket could be, I think the reason why Kogi is not the first. Oh my God, it could be that it's more of a five-hawk race. We know that emo bio is a three-hawk race. We've seen three dominant political parties. But Kogi seems to be a five-hawk race, which makes the election a very complicated election. And the most interesting thing is that both states, Kogi and bio, are not in terms of history, in terms of history of politics of the world. So it's not something new, but it's something that we need to keep conducting. And we use the security forces to keep on the streets as we move close to the election. And perhaps the political activities are going to change again because this violence game is, I think it's something, not the only tool they can start up with. So this is what we all need to start up with and also some of the early warning that Kogi also foretold this way. Security efforts for this to be the key. It cannot be asked what they use it for. So that we can also match some of these pockets or indicators of violence where, for me as an individual, if to say that this is the political issue in terms of electoral election, that it's the security of politics. To not wait until that's deploying thousands of people. Are you still there? The line has been very rough. Unfortunately, we may need to call Sophia back. Is she still on? Yes, I can still hear you. Fantastic. It's just inevitable at this point to ask you what are people like you doing, especially the non-partisan entities in a political sphere. What are we doing to combat the very debilitating effect of voter apathy? Every major election, we see the number of those who engage the electoral system dwindle. This is dangerous for democracy. How do you want to respond to that? So we've been seeing a lot of interventions last year. Some of the interventions, apart from voter apathy, is to provide an opportunity for voter apathy, which has to be called a tax card, which is a requirement for voter apathy. We've also taken a chance to encourage people to provide a discount, by also helping them online. Some of the initiatives where they work with the movement, explain how good education has been expected to be expected. I think in the next week, we're launching some great jobs. We've come in the state to a kind of wake the people up, and look at the people in the three general elections. We have taken a lead back in political activities. This is a studio of a general election. You are likely to follow a momentum of sector elections in that decade. So we're also calling on state voters to engage citizens, to engage voters. But the only thing we can tell you is that it's not against the safety of these voters. But we are having drums of words. How can these people really go out to participate in this? But I also want to bring attention to this argument. There are people that say voter turnout is not consistent, that non-conceptive state with a lot of voter participation. This also needs to be maintained. And I know that a lot of scholars work there. But again, we need to also have participation. We really have to go because the line is very rough. We sure do want to appreciate you and thank you. Indeed, you are a musician, you are African. The other actors out there will go a long way to enlighten us and enrich our democracy. Thank you very much. Okay, thank you so much for having me. Thank you.
