In the Osun governorship election, we were shy of two million registered voters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are stand alone elections. For the Ekiti election, we utilised the service of the Nigerian Air force and they flew the materials into Akure airport. We did the same thing with the Osun election, and we moved the materials to our state offices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut for the 2023 general election, we are going to have over 95 million ballot papers printed for the presidential election. Over 95 million will be printed for the senatorial election; over 95 million papers will be printed for the house of representatives election. Then it goes down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a huge logistics nightmare. What we intend to do going forward since there are issues with keeping our materials with CBN, we have not had enough opportunity to sit down with the Central Bank to review the entire issue surrounding our moving our material with the Nigerian Air force.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are definitely going to do that. If at the end of the day, we are not satisfied with the arrangement then we are going to look for a new logistics pathway of how to manage logistics during the 2023 elections. But no decision has been made.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen you have to move materials to 36 states of the federation and the capital territory, it\u2019s a completely different ball game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we did in Ekiti and Osun in terms of the general election will not be sustainable. We need to look for a complete logistics pathway of how to deal with this particular problem.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Commissioner for information and voter education of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), Festus Okoye has stated that the electoral body is still\u00a0in talks with the Central Bank of Nigeria over storage of electoral materials.
