The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has began the distribution of sensitive materials across the twenty-one local government areas of Anambra State for the Saturday’s governorship election in the state.
According to ABS, the sensitive materials include electronic devices, ballot booklets, result sheets and other documentary materials to be used at each of the polling units on Saturday.
As a warranted security step, the materials had been deposited at the Central Bank of Nigeria office, Awka, from where they were brought out for intact assessment by political party agents, and then handed over to each of the electoral officers for the twenty-one local government areas of Anambra State, who would be escorted, alongside the materials, by security agents down to their respective LGAs.
The INEC National Commissioner in charge of supervision, Barrister Festus Okoye, the Resident Electoral Commissioner of Anambra State, Dr Nkwachukwu Orji, his Enugu State counterpart, Dr Emeka Ononammadu, as well as independent election monitoring teams are taking part in the process.
