He disclosed that the presidential candidates, including Bola Tinubu of the All Progressives Congress APC; Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party; Peter Obi of the Labour Party LP, and others would sign the last peace accord on Wednesday, February 22.
On the effect of the current scarcity of the Naira on the coming elections, Yakubu assured it would not pose threats to the conduct.
He added that the commission has gotten firm assurances from the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN that requisite cash would be made available to it.
Yakubu was accompanied by National Commissioners and other top officials of INEC.
