March 18: Kwara APC Urges INEC To Avoid Logistics Failures
Ahead of the governorship and House of Assembly elections scheduled to hold on March 18 , Kwara state APC has advised the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, to take necessary steps towards avoiding logistics failures that had slowed down the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections in the state last month.
In a statement issued in Ilorin which was made available to Team@orientactualmags.com by Alhaji Tajudeen Folaranmi Aro, who is the state Publicity Secretary of the party, Kwara state APC commended the efforts of the electoral umpire, especially its professional handling of the process.
‘We are convinced that the INEC must have conducted some reviews of the last election to identify areas where it has to do better in the coming and future polls. We feel especially compelled to call on the INEC to address the late arrival of its officials and materials at various polling places. Equally important is the rampant incident of insufficient electoral materials, including the ink.
Similarly, we want to urge the electoral body to be very vigilant in its use of various electronic platforms. Of particular concern is the information at our disposal that the opposition party has perfected plans to hack into INEC portals to manipulate the process to its advantage. This is what the PDP is now banking on to re-impose an expired political dynasty on the state after its total rejection by the people of Kwara State. We therefore call for absolute vigilance.
As a professional body, we are certain that the INEC must have discovered some other things that should be improved upon, and we hope to see such improvements on Saturday. All said, we commend the body for its exemplary conduct during the last elections, and we seek for a better outing on Saturday’ the statement said- Team@orientactualmags.com
