The Kwara State chapter of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has said the commission will receive sensitive materials for the conduct of the forthcoming election from its headquarters in Abuja, today.
This is coming just as the presidential election will hold on Saturday.
Speaking with our reporter last night in a telephone chat, the Public Relations Officer of the commission, Barr. Jacob Ayanda said INEC will receive materials like ballot papers, recording sheets and other forms for the voting.
The Kwara State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mallam Attairu Madami, the according to a whatsapp message, will brief the press by 12 noon.
Recall that INEC through its spokesperson, Ayanda had earlier confirmed the receipt of non sensitive materials for the election by the commission few weeks ago to this medium and assured that the election umpire is committed to a peaceful process.
The commission also recently rallied all political parties in the state to sign a peace accord with the head of security agencies.
Madami has vowed to make the forthcoming election the best so far held in Kwara State.
Speaking with our reporter, Ayanda said, “We will commence the receipt of sensitive materials for the election, today.”
Recall that INEC finally closed the collection of Permanent Voters Cards (PVCs) on Monday February 11, 2019, after extending the Friday February 8, 2019 deadline.
