“The electoral materials are leaving tomorrow (Thursday) morning. We will start from those (areas) farther.

“Yesterday, I led political parties, security personnel and other stakeholders involved in the conduct of the elections in the state to inspect the materials at CBN and I can confirm that all the materials are intact and complete,” he said.

According to him, “no material went out of CBN to any local government. We were still sorting the materials when the news of postponement of the elections came. So, the materials are complete and are still with the CBN,” he added.

He assured that the commission is poised to conduct a free, fair and credible election.
