AHEAD of the November 11 governorship elections in Imo, Bayelsa and Kogi states, the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, has expressed deep concern over the wave of insecurity in the three states.
The electoral umpire also lamented that a day to tomorrow’s deadline political parties were yet to substantially comply by submitting the list of their agents as only 55 per cent of the expected total of 189,180 polling unit agents have been uploaded to the designated INEC Portal for the three states.
“In our engagement with political parties, the Commission has constantly called on parties to rein in their supporters from actions capable of jeopardizing the peaceful conduct of elections in Nigeria. INEC earnestly appeals to all political parties and candidates to avoid utterances and acts that may heat up the polity.
However, Olumekun lamented that despite this notice and subsequent reminders, political parties were yet to substantially comply by submitting the list of their agents.
