He added that “We are sorting out the materials to be on a safer side to be sure of what we have. We are doing that based on the 20 local government areas in Bauchi State,” explaining that all Electoral Officers were at the CBN with the number of registered eligible voters in their respective areas and will get the required number of ballot papers for the elections based on that.
He further said that after the sorting out, all the sensitive materials will first be shared to the local government areas that are the farthest in the state so that they can get to those areas in good time.
Ahmed Waziri also said that the Bauchi office of INEC received a directive from the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja to sort out and distribute the materials between Wednesday 20th and Thursday 21st February to all the Local Government areas of the state.
He then expressed optimism that all the sensitive and non-sensitive materials will be distributed to the LGAs in good time in order to have hitch-free conduct of the elections on Saturday.
