INEC well funded: This is as the president said he has given the commission all the required resources for the smooth conduct of the next year's elections.
No excuse for failure: For this reason, Buhari said no complaint of fund shortage from the electoral umpire will be accepted.
This was contained in a statement signed on Saturday by the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Garba Shehu.
