Oyo State Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Adeniran Tella, shares his views with DANIEL AYANTOYE on the forthcoming general election and insecurity, among other issues
on the forthcoming general election and insecurity, among other issuesare concerns about possible attacks on electoral officers during the elections. What is the Independent National Electoral Commission doing to ensure that its officials are protected during the elections?
Are you saying there are no worries on the capacity of security personnel and there are sufficient security agents for the polls in the state? No, there has not been any form of pressure and there can’t be, especially with the new technology, BVAS, which has gone a long way to ease our tasks. My responsibility is to monitor the situation and be responding to any challenge that may likely arise from the field and ensure that we have solutions without hindering the election procedures. So, no politician can pressurise us.
There are concerns that with the devolution of PVC collection to the ward level, politicians may hijack the process. What are you doing to avert such?What are you doing about the issue of the low number of staff members at the PVC collection centres? The situation is said to be causing slow collection of the cards?
