INEC Begins Distribution of Sensitive Materials Ahead of Saturday's Elections

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has begun the distribution of election materials in preparation for the presidential and national assembly elections scheduled for Saturday, February 25, 2023.

The early distribution of election materials in Lagos, Osun, Ondo, Benue, Cross River, Ekiti, Sokoto, and Nasarawa states is an indication that INEC has put everything in place and is fully ready for the election.

Confirming the development, the Ekiti State Resident National Electoral Commissioner, Prof. Ayobami Salami, while speaking at the Central Bank of Nigeria, Ado Ekiti branch, where the materials were picked from on Wednesday, February 22, 2023, said that all logistic issues have been resolved. He assured Nigerians that the materials would be distributed on time and the elections would hold on schedule.

In Lagos and Ondo, the distribution of materials was carried out under heavy security presence at the CBN headquarters in the states. The materials would be distributed to Local Government Areas where electoral officers from each council would pick the materials for final distribution on election day.

President Muhammadu Buhari during his meeting with security chiefs at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, on Wednesday said INEC had no excuse not to conduct successful polls. The president called the meeting to ensure the 2023 general elections are successful.

“I’m being grounded by INEC. You know next Saturday is a great day for us and I take instructions from INEC so that I make sure there’ll be no excuses for successful election conduct.,” Buhari said.
