The Deputy director in charge of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), in Warri, Mr Kingsley Ogboe, blamed the delay by party agents to arrive at INEC office for the delay in dispatching voting materials to polling units.
Speaking with journalists at about 10:15a.m in his office at Esisi road, Warri South Local Government Area of Delta State, Ogboe said despite the fact that he had alerted party agents since Friday evening to show up at 6:00p.m to inspect the materials before dispatch, they chose to arrive very late.
He also said that he realised that the number of BVAS meant for his area was incomplete, so he had to notify INEC headquarters in Asaba to make it up. This, he argued, also caused the delay.
