The proposal seeks to restrict INEC’s review powers to cases where results were declared under duress only.
The commission added that the anticipated partnership was also for key services that would be beneficial to Nigerians.
He criticised a recent case where a state issued only 21 days’ notice for local elections, calling it unlawful and practically unworkable.
Mr Yakubu said that over the next six months, INEC would engage in electoral activities that required security deployment.
“Already he is stopping parties from being registered,” said Mr Amaechi. “Already, INEC has taken sides as it is no longer an umpire.”
Mr Yakubu said INEC’s collaboration with EFCC on vote-buying had also yielded similar results in Lagos, Kwara, and Gombe States.
INEC is to review the use of Permanent Voters’ Cards (PVC) as the sole means of identification for voter accreditation on election day.
Mr Yakubu urged political parties in the state to maintain decorum and civility in their campaigns and comply with the commission’s regulations.
Speaking at the ceremony in Abuja on Tuesday, the INEC chairman, Mahmood Yakubu, congratulated them on their appointment.
Suspected gunmen on Friday attacked the residence of INEC’s resident electoral commissioner, Hale Longpet, in Lokoja, an official said.
