Governor Emmanuel Uduaghan of Delta Statehas commended Deltans for conducting themselves peacefully and being orderly during the governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state.
Governor Uduaghan, who gave the commendation in Abigborodo in Warri North Local Government Area after casting his vote at Unit 1, Umuegbe Primary School, said information he received so far from security agencies indicated that voters behaved well.
He said the development was a plus for Deltans as well as the security agenda of the state government.
He commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for improving on its conduct of the presidential election, particularly in ensuring that its staff and election materials arrived polling stations early.
While thanking every Deltan for their peaceful conduct, the governor said the behaviour proved analysts who had listed Delta State as a flash point wrong.
Governor Uduaghan and his wife, Roli, who voted at about 1.45pm, expressed satisfaction with the electronic card reader and voter turn out.
They were both accredited in less than three minutes using the electronic card reader.
