As the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Prof Joash Amupitan, on Saturday visited some Poling Units during the Federal Capital Territory, FCT Area Council election, residents have complained of voters apathy.
According to DAILY POST, a party agent of All Progressives Congress, APC, Stephen Osadebe, complained of voter apathy and late arrival of sensitive materials.
He said “Yeah, we have a lot of voter apathy, which we’re not comfortable with. The Polling Units here have over 3000 people, and only 30 will be coming out. So the electoral body has a lot to do with bringing out the people to choose a leader. We cannot just choose a leader with slow votes. Sensitization will need to take place at least in a month.
“The votes must count. That’s why INEC is here. The vote will count, but when they don’t come out, then how do we get our leaders? So I believe the electoral the political parties with INEC was what is just a billion to bring out a leader. INEC is the one in charge of bringing the system.”
The INEC Chairman, while responding to the party agents, said the Commission was working towards achieving smooth elections.
