Political parties and candidates have signed a peace accord in Ondo state ahead of the governorship election on November 16.
The signing took place on Friday at the International Culture and Event Centre in Akure, the state capital.
“Your commitment to its implementation is critical. Therefore, as you sign the peace accord, you should commit yourselves to its implementation and pass the message to your supporters at all levels for compliance,” he said.He said the commission had taken measures to address election day challenges, especially the perennial challenge of logistics.
“In the case of Ondo state, this task is to be accomplished by boat in the two riverine local government areas of Ese Odo and Ilaje, and by a combination of trucks, four-wheel vehicles and motorcycles in respect of the mainland areas of the State.“You should therefore expect to see a remarkable improvement in Election Day logistics. Voters in Ondo State should also expect to see similar improvement in result management.
He said this effort will be supplemented by officers from other security agencies, totaling 43,157 personnel.
