Electoral Commission: Niger State Ready For Local Govt Election

The 25 local governments in the state will hold elections, according to the Niger State Independent Electoral Commission (NSIEC).

 

The election will take place on November 10 this year, Alhaji Aminu Baba, the chairman of the commission, announced in Minna over the weekend.

 

The third election under the current commission will be conducted peacefully, according to Baba, who said that the essential machinery has been put in place.

 

To ensure a hitch-free conduct of the polls, the chairman said training for local government electoral officers from the 25 LGAs in the state has been carried out, adding that the Electoral Officers will also carry out similar training for ad-hoc staff to be engaged in their respective areas.

 

Baba said adequate mobilisation of security operatives, including the police, men of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps (NSCDC) as well as those of the local vigilante has been carried out.

 

He said the commission was going on with the election, adding that no court injunction has been received by the commission asking not to conduct the election.

 

Where possible, Baba said some election materials would be got from the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), stressing that: “We may improvise if we can’t get the assistance needed from INEC.”

 

He urged candidates of the registered political parties to go ahead with their campaigns which he advised should be devoid of clashes, character assassination, and violence. CONTINUE READING………………………………..
