Published by

The Deputy Governor of Niger State, Alhaji Ahmed Mohammed Ketso has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the smooth accreditation of voters and the voting process.

The Deputy Governor who cast his vote at the Ketso polling unit number 010, at the Junior Secondary School Ketso in Mokwa local government area of the state, said this was the fastest voting process he had ever witnessed in the history of Nigeria’s general elections.

He said it was the first time he had witnessed a fast election as this in Nigeria, having done his accreditation and voting in less than a minute, and commended INEC for the new technology introduced.

“I want to appreciate the Independent National Electoral Commission( INEC) for this new innovation that added value to the credibility of the elections and by so doing it will give us the required result at the end of the day,” he said.

He observed that the 2023 general elections were historic because it was an election that will usher in a new government, adding that it was a milestone that will further solidify the corporate existence and unity of Nigeria as a nation.

Ketso who is equally the State Coordinator of Tinubu-Shettima Grassroots Independent Campaign Council (ICC) said we all owe the country a lot by participating in the election and choosing those that will lead us, urging Nigerians and particularly Nigerlites to exercise their civic right by going out to vote just as he did and devoid of any crisis.

The Presiding Officer (PO) of the polling unit, Garba Suleiman said the process was smooth and hitch-free and that they have no any challenge, not even with the new technology, the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
