Elections: Kwara INEC receives sensitive materials
The Resident Electoral Commissioner in Kwara State, Malam Garba Attahiru-Madami, says the commission has taken delivery of all sensitive materials for Saturday’s Governorship and House of Assembly elections.
Attahiru-Madami told the News Agency of Nigeria on Tuesday in Ilorin that all the sensitive materials were in the custody of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
He added that officials of the commission would commence sorting the materials on Wednesday in the open within the premises of the CBN.
The REC added that the sorting of sensitive materials would be done in the presence of representatives of political parties, security agencies, election observers and the media.
NAN reports that the sensitive materials included ballot papers, Form EC 8 and result sheet form.
The REC said that after sorting of the materials, they would be moved to the various Local Governments accompanied by armed security personnel.
Attahiru-Madami said non sensitive materials like ballot boxes, ink, stamp pads and other items had earlier been moved to the 16 local governments.
The REC added that all the sensitive materials would be kept at the Divisional Police Headquarters in each Local Government Area headquarters.
