He said “generally, the election process and organisation has been very impressive. There have been contacts around the town, community and the entire constituency in all, no cause for alarm. So far, security agencies have done well, everything is under control.”
Commanding INEC’s level of preparation, Olasupo said “materials were delivered at the polling units on time. The only thing I noticed is the change in the process. If you can remember the last election, you accredit, wait, then vote. But this time around, you accredit and vote, so its a little bit crowdy. But I know the process will be get done as quickly as possible.”
