The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
released the schedule of activities for the 2023 general election.
Mahmood Yakubu, INEC chairman, gave the breakdown on
Saturday at a media briefing in Abuja.
According to him, the presidential election was initially
scheduled to hold on February 18, while governorship polls were fixed for March
