The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Mr Baritor Kpagih, said “The materials are ballot papers and result sheets; we have received part of them but we will not distribute the one we have until when we have them complete.
“The materials are supposed to have got to us before now but the arrangement was disrupted by the election that was just conducted in Kogi last Saturday.”
Kpagih also encouraged politicians in the state to avoid violence and play by the rules.
