The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) on Thursday commenced distribution of sensitive materials for Saturday’s Governorship Election in Ekiti.
The materials were distributed at the INEC State Office in Ado Ekiti in the presence of journalists, political parties and security agents to the electoral officers across the 16 local government area of the state.
The Resident Electoral Commissioner, Dr Adeniran Tella, who distributed the materials, said the electoral officers would take the items to their councils where they would be sent to the polling units on Saturday morning.
He gave assurance that there would be no late arrival of materials to polling units on Election Day.
