INEC fixes Dec. 5, for 15 pending by-elections
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has fixed the conduct of 15 pending by-elections for Dec. 5.
Mr Festus Okoye, the INEC National Commissioner and Chairman, Information and Voter Education, in a statement issued in Abuja said that the decision was taken at the commission’s meeting held on Friday.
He said that INEC among other things reviewed the outcome of its quarterly consultations with stakeholders in the electoral process.
He said that the commission further reviewed the security situation and other challenges regarding the by-elections holding in 11 states.
The commission on Oct. 22, postponed the by-elections earlier scheduled for Oct. 31, on account of the security situation and other environmental challenges in the country.
Okoye recalled that the commission met again on Nov. 5, and reviewed the situation.
He said that the commission at the meeting noted among other things the vandalism of INEC local government offices and facilities which affected some areas where the by-elections were scheduled to hold.
“Consequently, the commission decided to consult critical stakeholders in the electoral process before deciding on a definite date for the conduct of the by-elections.
“The commission consulted with political parties and civil society organisations on Nov. 10, as well as with the media and the Inter-Agency Consultative Committee on Election Security (ICCES) on Nov. 11.
“Finally, it met with all Resident Electoral Commissioners on Thursday, Nov. 12.
“Based on these consultations, the Commission believes that security in the affected States has improved while the environmental challenges have reasonably abated.
“Consequently, the Commission has decided to hold all the pending by-elections on Saturday, Dec. 5.”
The national commissioner said that INEC acknowledged the support, understanding and cooperation of stakeholders and the general public as it considered the scheduling of the by-elections.
These, according to him, were done in the overall efforts to reposition the electoral process as well as to give meaning and value to the votes of the people.
Okoye also appealed to voters and stakeholders in the states with pending by-elections to continue to cooperate with INEC in its efforts to deliver credible elections under a safe environment.

ENGR. BELLO BABAYO BELLO FELICITATES VICE PRESIDENT KASHIM SHETTIMA ON RENOMINATION
Engr. Bello Babayo Bello, FNSE, Executive Director (Networks) of the Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), has extended his heartfelt congratulations to Vice President Senator Kashim Shettima, GCON, on his renomination as the Vice Presidential candidate for the 2027 general elections, alongside President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
In his message, Engr. Bello described the renomination as a beautiful affirmation of the Vice President’s enduring commitment to Nigeria’s unity, stability, and prosperity. He noted that Senator Shettima, himself a former Senator of the Federal Republic, has consistently embodied resilience, foresight, and a deep sense of responsibility, qualities that continue to inspire confidence across the nation.
“This renomination is a shining testament to your unwavering dedication to the Nigerian people,” Engr. Bello stated. “It reflects the trust of the party and the citizens in your ability to guide our country toward greater progress, peace, and prosperity. Your leadership has been a beacon of hope, and this endorsement is richly deserved.”
Engr. Bello further emphasized that Senator Shettima’s political journey has been marked by courage and service. From his tenure as Governor of Borno State to his current role as Vice President, he has consistently championed initiatives that address national challenges, foster economic growth, and promote inclusive development.
As a leader in the power sector, Engr. Bello highlighted the importance of visionary leadership in driving infrastructure and energy reforms. He expressed confidence that Senator Shettima’s continued role in government will further strengthen Nigeria’s capacity to deliver reliable power, expand opportunities, and improve the quality of life for millions of citizens.
He prayed that Almighty Allah grants the Vice President wisdom, strength, and good health to continue serving the nation with distinction. “May Allah bless your efforts, guide your decisions, and grant you success as you carry forward the responsibility of leadership,” he added.
The message concluded with a reaffirmation of goodwill and support: “Congratulations once again, Your Excellency. We look forward to your continued contributions to the peace, progress, and prosperity of Nigeria.”
