The Ogun State Independent Electoral Commission has assured that “all is set for the conduct of Saturday local government election across the 20 councils in the state.”
Chairman of OGSIEC, Babatunde Osibodu, stated this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Abeokuta, the state capital.
Osibodu on Friday urged the “electorate to go out en-mass to perform their civic responsibilities.”
He noted that “electoral materials were already being transported to the appropriate local governments for effective distribution.”
A visit to the commission’s office in Abeokuta revealed that transport operators and security agents needed for the distribution of sensitive materials were already on the ground.
