The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in Ekiti State has confirmed arrival of sensitive materials for Saturday’s state house of assembly election in the state.
But governorship election will not hold in the state as the election that brought in Dr Kayode Fayemi of the APC took place in July 14 last year.
The Public Relations Officer of the commission in the state, Alhaji Taiwo Gbadegesin said the materials were already under protective custody of the state branch of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN.
