The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has assured voters in Ondo State of a smooth and credible governorship election as residents head to the polls today.

Speaking on Friday during an interview on Channels Television’s Politics Today, Professor Kunle Ajayi, INEC National Commissioner overseeing Ondo, Ogun, and Osun States, reaffirmed the Commission’s readiness to deliver on its mandate.

Ajayi expressed confidence in INEC’s preparations, stating that the electoral body has taken all necessary steps to ensure a seamless process.

“We have done our work diligently, and we are proud of our efforts.

We will not let the people of Ondo State down as they turn out in large numbers to elect their next governor,” he emphasized.

INEC began distributing sensitive electoral materials to various local government areas across the state on Thursday.

This process was carried out at the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) office in Alagbaka, Akure, under tight security.

Armed police officers, party representatives, and commercial buses hired by the Commission were present to oversee and facilitate the distribution.

Unlike the recent governorship election in Edo State, where logistical challenges delayed some materials, Ajayi confirmed that all Registered Areas (RAs) in Ondo State had received their sensitive materials by Friday afternoon.

“As of 3 pm today, every RA had been supplied with their materials.

The next step is to ensure they are delivered to Polling Units (PUs) in time for voting.

I personally visited some of the RAs this afternoon to monitor progress,” he added.
