She disclosed that the Nigerian Navy Ship (NNS) DELTA has promised to help in lifting voting materials to riverine communities.

The EO, however, disclosed that some election materials for Warri South-West LGA were mistakenly included in that of Warri South.

She added that she had contacted her counterpart in Warri South-West to come and pick them.

“We are moving all the election materials tonight. Materials will get to the various location before voting time tomorrow.

“We have Registration Area Centres (RAC) where men and materials will camp tonight with security men to enable them to move early.

“The naval personnel were here today; they said people should move to the jetty that they would help to move them to the riverine communities.

“There was a mixed up, we received some materials belonging to the Warri South-West and I have called the EO to come and pick them,” she said.

Meanwhile, residents of Warri and environs have expressed their readiness to perform their civic duty come Saturday.
