The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has said the Ondo State governorship election would be free and fair.
INEC’s National Commissioner Supervising Ondo, Ogun and Osun States, Professor Kunle Ajayi, promised that the commission would not disappoint the Ondo voters.
Ajayi, who stated this on Channels Television’s Politics Today on Friday, advised Ondo voters to go out en mass to cast their voters.
He explained that the commission had done every work they should do for Saturday’s (today) governorship election. He added that the integrity of the process would be protected.
“We have done our own work, we are proud of what we have done and we will not disappoint the people of Ondo State,” Ajayi said.
He also called on the political actors to cooperate by following the rules to ensure a peaceful election. He further stressed the need for voters to conduct themselves orderly at polling units.
The INEC National Commissioner noted that, unlike the September 21 governorship election in Edo State, all the registered areas in Ondo State have received their sensitive materials.
“I want to assure you that everything will go well. As of 3 pm, all the Registered Areas (RAs) received their sensitive materials. The next thing is to move to the Polling Unit (PU). I toured some of the RAs this afternoon,” Ajayi added.
