Delta LG Election: IPAC lauds security agencies
The Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC) has lauded security agencies in Delta for ensuring peace and creating a secure atmosphere for the ongoing local government election.
IPAC chairman, Henry Eze, made the commendation in an interview with journalists while monitoring the elections in Asaba on Saturday.
He noted that the election was generally peaceful and encouraging from all the polling units visited and as reported by IPAC members across the state.
“We have been going around covering polling units in Oshimili South Local Government Area, and things are moving on smoothly at the units; no fighting, no thuggery.
“The security agencies lived up to expectations, matching their words with actions.
“We met with the state Commissioner for Police (CP), Olufemi Abaniwonda, who assured us of adequate security, and what he said is what we are seeing today,” he said.
Mr Eze said that about ten political parties participated in the LG election, including the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), All Progressives Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP) and Action Alliance (AA).
He said that in line with the all-inclusive electoral goal of the council, people with disabilities were seen voting in some of the polling units monitored in Asaba.
Voting was also peaceful in Okpanam area of Oshimili North LGA in DSIEC Ward 13, Units 3 and 30.
