… Engages Clergymen, Others On Polls

The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says it has engaged religious leaders and stakeholders to ensure successful conduct of the forthcoming general election in Yobe state.
INEC Resident Electoral Commissioner in the state, Alhaji Ahmad Makama, made this known in Damaturu during an interactive session with clergymen, yesterday.
“We believe that the religious institution remains one of the mediums through which the public receives information.
“We therefore recognise the importance of your involvement in creating public awareness towards successful conduct of the general election,” Makama said.
He added that the commission has improved on its previous capacity, saying that vehicles conveying election materials would be tracked and monitored electronically, aside from being accompanied by security agents.
