The Independent National Electoral Commission in Kogi state has said that the commission is withdrawing sensitive election materials earlier dispatched for the postponed presidential and national assembly elections, Igberetvnews reports.
This was revealed by the INEC Director of Voter Education and Publicity in Kogi state, Ahmed Biambo, in Lokoja on Saturday. He said that the materials were being returned back to all the local government offices of INEC.
“Further directive was being awaited on whether to return the sensitive materials to the Central Bank of Nigeria or to the police armory for safe keeping,” he said.
According to Mr. Biambo, the office has also ordered immediate transportation of all the ad hoc staff, especially National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members back to their bases.
“The office did not receive ballot papers for the Kogi East senatorial election until about 2am when the election was suddenly postponed,” he said.
