According to the REC, the main reason for this early start to the materials distribution exercise was to allow enough time to see if there was any shortage in the items in the boxes and for officials to know how they can report to HQ for advance replacement of remaining missing items prior to Saturday's exercise.
He explained that the other time the items were distributed to the INEC office, but this time the Commission decided to do the exercise at the CBN because the quantity of items is not very similar to that of the presidential elections.
Some of the stakeholders including party agents, security guards, as well as election observers during the distribution of the items, expressed satisfaction and confidence with the whole process.< /p>
Our correspondent has learned that items distributed included Form EC 8B(1) and ballots for the gubernatorial and state assembly elections in the state.
