Late arrival of election materials and heavy rain
have affected the accreditation of voters for the local government elections in Rivers State on Saturday. The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the State Independent Electoral Commission is conducting elections in 22 of the 23 local governments of the state. NAN also reports that the morning rain made it
impossible for voters to reach polling units, forcing
those already out to either leave the units or take
shelter somewhere. The SIEC Chairman, Prof. Augustine Ahiauzu, said in
Port Harcourt that accreditation of voters would
commence at 9am and end at 12noon. He said voting would commence at 12.30pm and
end when the last person cast his ballot at a
particular voting centre.
The NAN reports that in some polling units, election
officials were seen waiting for materials to begin
accreditation of voters. Correspondents also observed the presence of
security agents and election observers at the units. At Abonnema, headquarter of Akuku-Toru Local
Government, NAN observed that voters came out as
early as 8am waiting to be accredited. Election officials said they were waiting for materials
from the SIEC to commence accreditation of voters. At Wards 11, 12 and 13, Port Harcourt City Local
Government, voters were waiting to be accredited. Miss Jane Amadi, a student, said she had been at
the polling unit at Ward 11 since 8am waiting for
accreditation. “The election officials are here but they have not
done anything because materials are not available,”
Amadi said. Mr. Emmanuel Emeh, a trader, at a polling unit in
Ward 12, said he and other voters had been
waiting for election materials to arrive. “We have been here since morning waiting for
election materials to arrive. We will continue to wait
to do our accreditation,” Emeh said. Mrs Rose Nyeche at a polling unit in Ward 13, said,
“I have been out here since morning waiting to do
accreditation. I am aware that accreditation will
start by 9am and that’s why I came out on time.” (NAN)

The Civil service should be overhauled they r fulled with old old people with secondary school certificate and one yeye professional course while we d youths with better qualification are jobless.
