reports that security agencies, representatives of political parties, civil society organisations, in collaboration with INEC, inspected the materials before deployment to the two local government areas.
The distribution exercise took off from the Central Bank of Nigeria in Awka.
INEC’s Resident Electoral Commissioner, (REC), Dr Elizabeth Agwu, told journalists that the sensitive materials included ballot papers and result sheets.
Agwu said that the BVA machines had been handed over to Electoral Officers.
“We have completed 50 per cent of our work and we are ready for the election on Saturday. I want to urge the adhoc staff to be proactive to ensure smooth process.
“There will be no movement in the areas where the election will hold from 8:30 a.m. when voting will start to 2:30 p.m. when voting will end.
“I want to assure the electorate that every person on queue will vote before close of time,”she said.
The REC warned politicians not to act funny in any way as enough security personnel had been deployed to provide safety at all the polling units and all the areas where the election would hold.
She urged the electorate to come out en mass without fear of intimidation as their votes would count.
On his part, the Charman of the Young Progressive Party (YPP) in Anambra state, Mr Moses Obi, commended INEC for its conduct so far.
