The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has announced that sensitive election materials for the upcoming Ondo governorship election will arrive in Akure on Tuesday, November 12. This was confirmed by INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu, during a pre-election stakeholders’ meeting held on Thursday in Akure.
Yakubu stated that all sensitive materials, including ballots and result sheets, would be delivered to the Central Bank of Nigeria’s Akure branch early next week. Representatives from political parties and other stakeholders will inspect the materials to ensure transparency before they are dispatched to local governments and ward centers across the state.
“We have arranged for the delivery of sensitive materials for the election to arrive as early as Tuesday next week,” Yakubu said. He added that political parties and other stakeholders would be invited for an inspection at the Central Bank in Akure, and would be able to monitor the movement of these materials to local government areas and wards.
Yakubu emphasized INEC’s commitment to a credible and well-organized election, noting that all logistical arrangements for the secure distribution of materials have been completed. To ensure timely deployment, he explained that both land and maritime transportation options have been secured to facilitate access to polling units across Ondo State.
