The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has promised that the December governorship polls in Kogi State will be better than the April general elections.
The Administrative Secretary, Alhaji Ahmed, stated this in an exclusive interview with KogiReports.Com yesterday. He sounded confident on the ability of INEC to conduct a free, fair and credible elections that will be acceptable to all.
As part of preparations towards updating the voter’s register, he said information technology officers of the commissioner are currently undergoing training in Abuja and will return to Lokoja next week to train other staff that will handle the voter’s register update.
When asked if the direct data capture (DDC) machines will be deployed to all polling units, Ahmed said it wont be necessary but assured that one or two DDC machines will be deplored to every ward so as to enable new registrants participate in the forthcoming elections.
The date for the voter’s registration update will be announced soon.
The Drama in Kogi would probably serve as a TEST OF THE CHANGE INTEGRITY. The bundle of questions demanding answers would include, Did INEC do write in declaring the Kogi Election inconclusive in the first place? Is having DSS arrest Falake and Audu the kind of justice that Kogi wants in a time of Change?
