Ahead of the upcoming governorship election in Ondo State, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has dispatched sensitive electoral materials to all 18 local government areas.

The distribution exercise took place on Thursday at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) facility in Akure and was overseen by Oluwatoyin Babalola, the state’s Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC).

According to Babalola, the early dispatch of these materials demonstrates INEC’s commitment to conducting a transparent and credible election in Ondo State.

The proactive measure, she noted, underscores the commission’s dedication to ensuring the election process is well-organized and free from disruptions. “You can see that the distribution exercise is going on very smoothly. The farthest local governments have started moving to their local governments.

“All the other local governments, they have received their materials, they are checking and they are loading the vehicles.

“You can see the logistics we are distributing today. The vehicles are already moving. Ilaje has left, Ese-Odo has left, Okitipupa and Irele are loading. They will soon leave.

“We move to the next set, Akoko North-East, Northwest, Akoko South-West, South-East, Owo and Ose they have collected all their materials and they will leave any moment from now.

“Then Odigbo, Ondo-East, Ondo-West, Ifedore, Axis, they are leaving. We are on course. We are moving. The movement is not local government by local government. We are doing simultaneous movement.”
