Elections result sheets for Lagos, Gombe found in Enugu

A few hours to the Presidential /National Assembly elections, result sheets meant for Lagos and Gombe states have been found in Enugu State.
Not only that, result sheets meant for some local government areas in Enugu State could not be found until the postponement was announced.
As at Wednesday afternoon, the result sheets for Aninri Local Government of Enugu West Senatorial zone
(Deputy Senate President Ike Ekweremadu’s zone) were yet to be found by INEC.
But, the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Enugu, Dr Emeka Ononamadu, said all election materials belonging to other states ”but which strayed” into Enugu have been returned to the states they belong to.
He said efforts are on to ensure that the rescheduled elections hold peacefully and are free, fair and credible.
But, Ononamadu denied that the result sheets for the state were missing, saying there was only a shortage of the sheets.
He said corrections were being made to ensure that things are in order.
“The problem we had was a shortage not that the result sheets were missing. There were other ‘things’ belonging to other states that we found in our packages like Gombe and Lagos States but they have been returned to them. Results sheets for Gombe and Lagos states were found in our packages but they have since been moved back”.
“All our result sheets are complete now except for Aninri Local Government. Except that, everything is okay.”
According to him, his office is crossing all ‘Ts’ and dotting all ‘Is,’ ahead of the polls.
He said he had been crosschecking the election materials in the company of political party representatives and security agents.
The REC gave an assurance saying: “I can give you a final status of the whole thing this evening when we conclude the arrangement because we have been going round with security agencies and political parties to confirm the contents of the bagged items so that there are no items belonging to other states in our bags”.
