JUST IN: INEC extends voting period in Enugu

 INEC has extended the voting period in Enugu State indefinitely to accommodate the late start of the election in many parts of the state.

The MEDIA reported elections in the state began late due to logistics issues after drivers contracted to transport INEC's election materials and staff complained about not receiving payment alerts.

Prime9jaOnline gathered that elections began late in most areas of the state, around 12 noon, after INEC staff made frantic efforts and alternative arrangements to get materials and staff to polling units.

Rex Achumie, INEC's Head of Department for Voter Education and Publicity (VEP), told NAN that the voting is still going on in the state.

Mr. Achumie stated that until the last man on the voting queue is attended to, “election will never end.”

“The timing for the election has extended infinito in the state. It will continue to the last man standing on the queue votes in the state.

“Even if it ends at 12 midnight or 1 a.m., tomorrow being Sunday, it is valid and our people should be patient,” he said.

He, however, said the commission was sorry for the embarrassment of starting late, which should be solely be blamed on commercial drivers contracted for the job of logistical movement.
