By-election: INEC distributes sensitive election materials to Yobe LGAs
INEC and political parties jointly inspected sensitive election materials at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in Damaturu before their onward distribution to local government areas.
Speaking to journalists, Ibrahim Abdullahi, the resident Electoral commissioner, said all stakeholders, especially political parties fielding candidates, were invited to inspect the materials for transparency.
According to the INEC official, five political parties (ADC, APC, APGA, NNPP, and PDP) fielded candidates for the election.
The REC called on the electorate to come out and vote for candidates of their choice.
He also advised them to be orderly, abide by the rules and regulations, and avoid doing anything to disrupt the peace at the polling units or collation centres.
The Yobe East senatorial seat became vacant due to the appointment of Senator Ibrahim Geidam as the minister of police affairs by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
