By David Adeoye
The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Oyo State, Dr Adeniran Tella, has described Saturday’s rerun election in Saki West State Constituency as seamless.
Tella gave this assessment while monitoring the election at polling units 007 and 019 ward 11, both located in the Odo Osun and Ogbalanja areas of Saki.
He also commended voters who participated in the rerun for their peaceful conduct.
“The men and officers of security agencies led by the Commissioner of Police, Mr Hamzat Adebola, also deserve commendation for maintaining order and their effective manning of the two polling units,” the REC added.
Tella said the Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) deployed for the exercise performed well, adding that there were no hitches as regards the rerun election.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the REC visited the two polling units alongside Adebola and other INEC management staff while the exercise was still on.
He expressed optimism that the exercise would be a total success at the end of the day.(NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
