Abuja and they are going to be sent today .I will be here (CBN) till
they bring it

“Also the results sheet of Lagos was found here. I
have sent it back, that of Lagos was also found in Nasarawa .You can see
the reason the election was postponed,” the REC said.

the Ilorin office of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) to local
government areas.

security agencies including the Police, Nigeria Customs Service, Nigeria
Security and Civil Defence Corps, Nigeria Immigration Service, Nigerian

expecting to take delivery of the results sheets to be used for
rescheduled elections before the end of the (Wednesday).

He informed the commission has taken delivery of other materials needed for the rescheduled polls.

“The result sheets are not going to be used not until Saturday we would get it before then,” he said.

said the commission began the movement of the election materials to
various local government areas in the state to ensure those going to the
difficult terrain arrive early enough.

local government that are far way, we are moving our materials to
Baruten, Kaiama, Patigi where there are riverine communities, “he said.

whether the materials were secured, Madami said armed security
personnel were already at the RAC rack centres to ensure safety of the
materials and personnel.

Speaking on the success of Permanent
Voters card PVCS collection in the state, Madami said that the
commission has recovered 82 per cent success with only a balance of
257,431 uncollected.
