The Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission says “all is set for the conduct of Saturday local government election across the 20 councils in the state.”
The Chairman of OGSIEC, Mr Babatunde Osibodu, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abeokuta, the state capital, on Friday.
Osibodu urged the “electorate to go out en-mass to perform their civic responsibilities.”
He noted that “electoral materials were already being transported to the appropriate local governments for effective distribution.”
A visit to the commission’s office in Abeokuta revealed that transport operators and security agents needed for the distribution of sensitive materials were already on the ground.
Electoral officers from the local governments were also seen at the commission’s office ready to collect the materials for a smooth exercise on Saturday.
NAN reports that the OGSIEC had earlier solicited the support of stakeholders including the media at a parley where it reiterated determination to conduct credible elections.
