INEC raises concern over Edo election
Mr Timidi Wariowei, INEC Head of Voters Education and Publicity, expressed this concern on Thursday in Benin at a roundtable discussion on the 2020 Edo governorship election organised by Centre for Democracy and Development.
He lamented that the commission has not been able to carry out the continuous voters registration exercise as well as the distribution of the Permanent Voters Card ahead of the election due to the pandemic, NAN reports. He, however, assured voters that INEC was fully ready to conduct a credible poll, adding that preparation had begun for the exercise.“We do not want to be accused unnecessarily or seen to be undermining the people, but for their own protection,” he said.
