Aluko, however, assured that the forthcoming elections would be different, noting that INEC had put in place necessary logistic arrangements to ensure that polls open early.

“I assure you that with the system we have put in place, the logistics arrangement, and with the fact that we are employing credible persons as electoral officials, I don’t see anyone getting to the polling units late.

“What we do is we usually activate our racks and we move officials there a night before the election so that very early in the morning, they move to polling units within the registration areas. So, we don’t anticipate a situation where they will arrive late. It won’t happen I assure you”, he stated.JAMB Result
