The SDP governorship candidate in Kogi State, Murtala Ajaka, alleged that original result sheets of three local governments, including Okene’, Okehi, and Adavi, are missing. “All the electoral officers in Okene and Adavi local governments have compromised. They are trying to dent the image of INEC,” Ajaka added.
“I’m satisfied with the process and the personnel conducting the process so far,” Bayelsa State Governor, Douye Diri said after casting his ballot at PU 004, Sampou/Kalam, Kolokuma/Opokuma LG.
INEC said voting and accreditation will commence at 8:30 am in all the polling units across the three states, and the process will end by 2:30 pm, but anyone in the queue before the expiration time will be allowed to cast their votes.
Governor Hope Uzodimma of Imo State and his Bayelsa counterpart, Douye Diri are standing for re-election, while Governor Yahaya Bello is overseeing the election in Kogi State as an outgoing governor.
The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) said 5,169,692 voters collected their PVCs in all three states. The breakdown showed that 1,017,613 registered voters collected their PVCs in Bayelsa, while 2,318,919 and 1,833,160 were collected in Imo and Kogi States, respectively.
