At a press conference organised by the groups in Warri on Sunday to assess the outcome of the exercise, the accredited civil society stressed that there was no transparent
distribution of electoral materials in the polling units visited by members of the observer groups.
• The NPP has recruited «machomen» who will engage in the destruction and
burning of electoral materials, EC equipment as well as snatching of ballot boxes in the NDC strongholds.
Curiously, the EC as far back as October 2015 had written to PPA about the
procurement of electoral materials, including the pink sheets, and had presented a list excluding Aerovote, as the companies that were going to be part of the processes.
A policy analyst of the party, Kofi Asamoah Siaw told Citi News the Commission must re-look at its process of
distribution of electoral materials to prevent losses and any form of security breaches.
The late
arrival of electoral materials is frustrating many prospective voters eager to vote in the ongoing Benue local government elections, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
