“All INEC materials are stucked with people diverting traffic and following one way. The other lane with the broken down trucks conveying INEC materials is blocked.”

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had on Wednesday commenced the distribution of sensitive election materials to its local government offices in Cross Rivers.

The deployment was witnessed by the representatives of political parties and security officials.

Before the materials were distributed, the Resident Electoral Commissioner, Prof Gabriel Yomere, said “No big man would be allowed to come out on the election day with his orderly.”
