The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, on Thursday failed to start the distribution of electoral sensitive materials in Imo State as had been earlier scheduled.
It was learnt that the distribution of the materials for the presidential and National Assembly elections will begin in the state on Friday afternoon.
Meanwhile, the spokesperson for INEC in Imo State, Emmanuela Opara, confirmed the preparedness of the electoral body to begin the distribution of the materials on Friday afternoon.
Mr. Opara added that the deployment of soldiers for routine security checks was already causing considerable traffic jam along the major road which leads to the Owerri capital city from some local government areas including Mbaitolu, Ikeduru, Ehime-Mbano, Isiala-Mbano, and Okigwe.
