Below is the full statement by Prof. Yakubu.

“It is my pleasure to welcome the Chairmen and other leaders of political parties to this extraordinary meeting barely two months after our last regular quarterly consultative meeting for the year held on Tuesday 25th October 2023. The Commission is aware that the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) had to delay an important meeting scheduled to hold this morning to honour the invitation to this meeting at short notice. We do not take this for granted and I wish to express our appreciation to all the leaders of political parties.
