The Independent National Electoral Commission on Wednesday began the distribution of sensitive materials for Saturday’s governorship and house of assembly elections.
Chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council in the State, Owoola Daramola, lauded the transparency of the Commission, as he urged them to be transparent during and after the election.
The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Chukwuemeka Chukwu, said Enugu State had received sensitive materials from its national headquarters, adding that the sensitive materials were kept at the CBN office, in Enugu. Just like it did during February’s Presidential and National Assembly election, the Katsina State Police Command on Wednesday announced restrictions on human and vehicular movements in the state during Saturday’s election.Delta closes schools
The National Publicity Secretary of the Peoples Democratic Party, Debo Ologunagba said though the party was in court to challenge the process and outcome of the presidential election; it expected INEC to play by the rules on Saturday. While justifying his fear, Tanko said many of their supporters had reported alleged harassment and intimidation in some states.
‘’We made our point very clear to INEC and we have told them that no matter what, BVAS must be deployed in fulfilment of the law. Anything short of deploying BVAS, the law says such an election stands cancelled.’’
