Osun 2022: INEC Promises Credible Polls

The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC has promised that the Osun State Gubernatorial Election slated for July 16 will be credible.

In a media parley with executives in Osogbo on Friday the Commission’s Chairman, Information and Voter Education Committee, Mr Festus Okoye said all sensitive materials for the election would be flown directly to the state by the Airforce and will not be domiciled at the Central Bank.

The electoral umpire said they are not being partial but will only ensure that 1.9 million eligible Osun voters decide who the next governor will be.

“BIVAS that will be deployed to the polling units would read the faces, card readers will read the fingers, so anyone that his face and fingers failed to be read will not be allowed to votes.

“To this end, anyone that has the intention of using fake voters card or stores PVCs at home should forget using same, they will be arrested and hand over to security operatives”, he said.

Okoye advised media practitioners give out accurate stories that would educate Nigerians on how the election process went, taking into consideration the level of insecurity in the country.
