The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has expressed its readiness for today’s poll and assured Ondo electorates that it would not disappoint them.
INEC made the promise on Friday through its National Commissioner Supervising Ondo, Ogun and Osun States, Professor Kunle Ajayi, who featured on Channels Television’s programme, Politics Today.
Speaking during the interview, Ajayi said the electoral empire won’t disappoint the state’s electorates, who are expected to file out to various polling booths on Saturday to elect a new governor who will pilot the affairs of the state for the next four years.
“We have done our own work, we are proud of what we have done and we will not disappoint the people of Ondo State,” he said.

“I want to assure you that everything will do well. As of 3 pm, all the Registered Areas (RAs) all their sensitive materials. The next thing is to move to the Polling Unit (PU). I toured some of the RAs this afternoon,” the INEC National Commissioner added.

The sharing was done at the premises of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Alagbaka, Akure, Ondo State, under the watch of party agents, armed policemen, and several commercial buses hired by the Commission.
Meanwhile, the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has also expressed its readiness for the Ondo gubernatorial election, saying it has tightened security in all the local government areas of the state.
