Benue LG election: APC hails BSIEC for transparent polls
The All Progressive Congress, APC, has hailed the Benue State Independent Electoral Commission, BSIEC, for the transparent conduct of the local government elections in the state.
APC State Caretaker Chairman, Mr Benjamin Omale, told newsmen in Makurdi that the process is going smoothly.
Omale expressed hope that APC would emerge victorious at the end of the exercise.
“The assessment has been good. The governor has done one of the great things that has ever happened in Benue by enabling one of the best local government elections in the state.
“This is the seventh polling unit that I have visited, and so far everywhere is peaceful and calm, and the turnout is commendable.
“We are very hopeful of victory. We have all the structures and supporters on the ground to achieve the goal,” he said.
According to the News Agency of Nigeria, NAN, though the turnout was low and at some polling units voting commenced late, the exercise was hitch-free.
It was gathered that there was massive deployment of security personnel at polling units, streets and major highways within the state capital.
