There could be changes and all of that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, we don\u2019t expect transporters to operate at a loss. If oil has gone up, for instance, and they now want some increment, this could be discussed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLike I said, I wasn\u2019t part of the meeting, but the meeting was held, and I\u2019m sure some agreement was reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to conduct that election. So, I don\u2019t think that will cause some problems,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>On the commission\u2019s preparations for Persons Living with Disabilities (PWDs) participation in the exercise, Oyekanmi said INEC would continue to do it best for the PWDs to exercise their franchise.<\/p>\n<p>He said that though the facilities, mostly public ones such as schools, used for polling units may not be purposely-built for PWDs, the electoral officers had been trained to offer the needed assistance to them to cast their votes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNormally, our Presiding Officers are trained that when they see anybody on the wheelchair or anyone regarded as PWD, the person comes straight to the front of the queue, and Nigerians cooperate with us on that.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor instance, the elderly people, people on wheelchairs, people with special needs, and physically pregnant people, not people who put something in their tummy, we give them that respect,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The CPS also said that INEC had put measures in place to prevent cases of prefilled result sheets witnessed in Kogi do not reoccur in Edo or future elections anywhere in the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can assure you that the Commission took active steps to make sure it doesn\u2019t happen again.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn fact, our result sheets cannot be forged because they are custom-made. They have security features and nobody knows what those security features will be.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, INEC has been able to perfect that aspect, that if you go ahead and print result sheets, you have just wasted your time, because you will not have access to what we have and you will not be able to make use of it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAgain, our resource management process takes care of errant behaviour like that,\u201d Oyekanmi said.<\/p>\n<p>He also assured Nigerians that it would not be possible to collate results in any polling unit where election is not held in Edo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s not possible, because if an election is not held in a place, it has to be reported,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Oyekanmi said there was no polling unit with zero voters in Edo hence election was expected to hold in all the polling units across the state.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll the polling units, over 4,500 of them will be used. So, there is no polling unit that will not have voters..<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHowever, if election does not take place because of one reason or the other, of course, the presiding officer has the duty to report that,\u201d Oyekanmi told newsmen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Assures PWDs will exercise their franchise The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) says the recent hike in the price of petrol will not affect the conduct of Edo governorship election.
