“The corps members have written their names in the annals of history, having contributed towards the entrenchment of a credible electoral process.
“I urge them to remain impartial and perform their duties in line with the established rules.
“In all the polling units I visited, there were security agents on the ground, and the corps members informed me that the conduct of the exercise was peaceful,” he said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), about 5,000 corps members were deployed by the scheme to serve as polling officers during the conduct of the election in the state.
