Delta State Information Commissioner, Mr Charles Aniagwu today lauded INEC for peaceful conduct of presidential and
National Assembly polls.
The Commissioner gave the commendation after casting his vote
at his polling unit in ward 7 in Akumazi, lka North East Local Government Area of the state.
He said INEC had done very well, pointing out that what the electoral body had done with the BVAS was quite encouraging, even as he urged Nigerians to have patience with the Commission as it continued to improve on its use of technology to advance the conduct of election in the country.
Said Aniagwu :
“You can see the peace in this environment. For those of you who are used to my community and ward, which is ward 7 in Ika North, I am sure you are already used to the atmosphere that usually pervades this environment.
“We vote as brothers, this place is more or less home to the umbrella and you can see everybody is calm. We have respect for one another and we will vote patiently and wisely.
“By the grace of God, we belive that the results will come out fine. INEC has done well. We may not expect a hundred per cent process. But so far, what we have seen with respect to the BVAS, is quite encouraging.
“We urge all Nigerians to continue to have patience with the electoral body; even if we may have flaws in terms of delays in the commencement of voting at any given polling unit or a delay in the accreditation.
“Therefore, as Nigerians, by the time we begin to exercise patience and then have trust in the electoral body; we would have gotten to that level where all of us can possibly vote from home.
“For me, I am very convinced that across the length and breadth of this country that Atiku will win this election. This is because most Nigerians believe that he is the man that has what it takes to recover our country from where we are.”
