INEC Chairman Yakubu warns politicians against 'win-at-all-costs' attitude

Of the recently confirmed 10 RECs by the National Assembly, nine were sworn in on Tuesday.

During the swearing-in ceremony of nine newly appointed Resident Electoral Commissioners (RECs), the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Prof Mahmood Yakubu, is concerned over the prevailing "win-at-all-costs" mentality among Nigerian politicians, stating that it poses a significant challenge to the commission's mandate.
