“We were highly disappointed with the way INEC conducted the last elections in which the process experienced a lot of irregularities.
“Comparing with the current elections, the situation is highly different from the report we are receiving so far across the state,” he said.
Mr Tambuwal further added that if the situation was sustained to the end, the will of the people would truly prevail at the end of the exercise.
“The election materials arrived at most of the polling units on time and so far no issue of BVAS malpractice.
“However, the government needs to ensure the recruitment of more security personnel to address shortage of manpower in the country,” he added.
