All is set for Saturday’s local government elections, says OGSIEC
The Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission says all is set for Saturday local council across the 20 councils.
The chairman of OGSIEC, Babatunde Osibodu, stated this in an interview in Abeokuta on Friday.
Mr Osibodu urged the electorate to turn out en masse 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 to distribute sensitive materials 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.
The OGSIEC had earlier solicited the support of stakeholders, including the media, at a parley where it reiterated its determination to conduct credible elections.
