The Independent National Electoral Commission has assured Nigerians and the international community that it has concluded arrangements to commence elections by 8am on Saturday.
 
INEC Chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu gave the assurance on Friday in Abuja while addressing a press conference on the commission’s preparations for the presidential and National Assembly elections.
 
Yakubu said that the commission has concluded the deployment of sensitive and non-sensitive materials to the 774 local government areas across the country.
 
“We engaged 825,543 ad hoc staff ranging from presiding officers to collation and returning officers. We have mobilised 80,000 commercial vehicles and about 996 boats for the deployment of personnel and materials.

“The materials include 707,892 ballot boxes and voting cubicles, and we are mobilising these to various locations by land and sea.

“We have accredited 120 domestic and 36 international observer groups, deploying an accumulative number of 73,000 observers.

“We have concluded the movement of personnel, materials to the 774 local and 8809 RACs nationwide.

“All arrangements are now in place to facilitate opening of polls at 8am on Saturday,”he said.
 
He said that measures were also in place to combat vote-buying and other electoral malpractice.
 
He said that the national situation room would open at 6pm on Friday, while the national collation centre would also be opened at 6pm on Sunday, both situated at the International Conference Centre, Abuja.
 
The chairman advised eligible voters to visit gotomypu.ng to obtain location to their polling units, saying in the last 10 days about 190,000 persons had utilised the commission’s various social media platforms to geolocate their Polling Units.
 
He said that the election would be by simultaneous accreditation and voting system, and that only registered voters with Permanent Voter Cards would be allowed to vote.
 
“As we go to poll tomorrow, I appeal to voters to be peaceful and orderly before, during and after the elections.
