It’s improvement on previous polls —NBA


The Nigeria Bar Association (NBA) has expressed its opinion concerning the conduct of just concluded election in Osun state.

Meanwhile, the NBA has described the conduct of the election as an improvement on the previous polls in Anambra and Ekiti, noting that logistics challenge did not characterise the exercise.

It also urged the INEC to ensure that  Electronic Voting Machines, EVM, are used in subsequent elections, adding that the use of such machines for the collation of results in Osun was impressive.

In its post-election report which was signed by Mr. Dafe Akpedeye, SAN, the NBA said INEC had improved on its deployment of electoral materials and officials to polling units.

The report reads: “In comparison with the last governorship elections in Anambra and Ekiti, INEC has improved in its deployment of electoral materials and officials to polling units. However, there is room for better performance in this regard in future elections.
