The Independence National Electoral Commission (INEC) said it has sent sensitive materials to the 18 local government areas in Ondo State ahead of the November 16 governorship election in the state.

The INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) , Mrs. Oluwatoyin Babalola stated this while monitoring the exercise at the Akure branch of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).

She said the early distribution of the sensitive materials was to show that the commission was ready for the election.

She said the sensitive materials were distributed to ensure that no ward or polling unit was left out.

Babalola reassured residents, political parties and all stakeholders of the commission’s readiness to conduct a transparent, free and fair election.

“We promise that the commission will be transparent in the conduct of the election. You can see that the distribution exercise is going on very smoothly.”

Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the state, Ade Adetimehin and the state chairman of the Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Adesanya Olaoluwa, commended INEC for its transparency in the exercise.

The duo said all the parties were ready to cooperate with the commission.

Representatives of the political parties participating in the election and the security agencies, including the Police, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence corps (NSCDC), the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), the Immigration, the Customs and the Department of State Service (DSS) were at the venue of the exercise.
