Council chairman lauds INEC, security agencies for peaceful exercise
Romanus Ibekwe, chairman of Anaocha LGA, has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for a smooth conduct of the governorship election.
Mr Ibekwe, who spoke at his Umukabia Hall, Neni Ward 11 Polling Unit 007, said that INEC officials and the materials arrived on time, while the accreditation and voting processes were seamless.
He commended the security agencies for providing what he called “the best security environment” in the history of elections in the council.
Mr Ibekwe, however, said that there were threats at Nri Ward 1, but that they were taken care of, and the people came out to vote.
“The process has been peaceful. The Anaocha people have shown that they are peace-loving and that they love the government of the day.
“That is why people not only came back from other states and cities but thronged the polling units to vote.
“I appeal to INEC to improve on its logistics in terms of timely movement of men and materials and quality of vehicles used for deployment of officials to reduce delays,” Mr Ibekwe said.
