Nigeria’s electoral body, the Independent National Electoral Commission has said rather than staying at home and praying, Nigerians should vote for the candidate of their choice in today’s general elections.
INEC made this known
through the Head of Voter Education and Publicity Department of the
commission, Federal Capital Territory, Ms Agnes Akpe, even as the INEC scribe
disclosed the readiness of the INEC to conduct elections in the Federal Capital
Territory.
According to Akpe, the distribution of sensitive materials began on February 23
and the last batch was distributed to the Abuja Municipal Area Council on
February 24, adding that the materials were brought to the six area councils so
that stakeholders such as the media, political parties, and other agents could
witness the distribution.
She said, “Your prayer points will
not count, it is your vote that will count.
“So, we brought the materials for the six area councils here. The reason for
bringing them here was that the media could be a witness and the political
parties, IPAC and other agents.
“Aside from that, we also needed to add the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System
that was with us because we had to configure them for each of the polling
units.
“When they brought the ballot papers, we added the BVAS for each of the area
councils and sent them under heavy security.
“So, we are pretty much ready. ”
