He also decried the late arrival of election materials at Owan West Local Government Area.
He said, “As you can see, INEC Officials and materials just arrived and they are well over two hours late. Well, we are still well around the allocated time for voting; let us see what we can achieve between now and close of voting hours.’’
According to him, it will only be fair if the voting hours are extended by the numbers of hours lost.
