Edo Bye-Elections: lNEC distributes sensitive materials
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has commenced the distribution of sensitive materials to Ovia Federal Constituency and Edo Central Senatorial District ahead of the Saturday bye-elections.
The Edo Resident Electoral Commissioner, Anugbum Onuoha, and other officials of the commission supervised the distribution of the sensitive materials.
The exercise, which took place in the premises of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in Benin, had some agents of the political parties of APC, PDP, AA, and ADC, among others, on ground to monitor the exercise.
Security agencies were also on ground to ensure the smooth process of the distribution exercise.
Addressing journalists, Mr Onuoha noted that the sensitive materials had been distributed to the five local government areas in Edo Central and two local governments in Ovia, where the bye-elections would hold.
He said that the commission was fully prepared to ensure that the election was hitch-free and called on the electorate to come out en masse to vote for their choice candidates.
