local government areas of the state.

trooping out as early as 7:00 am to various polling centres to exercise their

polling units early.

At the Municipal Polling Units

accredited before collecting the ballot papers to cast their votes.
One of the voters, Musa Sani
commended INEC for bringing materials to the unit early which enabled voters in
the area to cast their votes without any stress.

a.m. and as I am talking to you now I have cast my vote more than an hour now;
I am just waiting to see what will happen,” he said.

expressed satisfaction with the arrangement made, adding that the security
agents were adequate.
