The Kano State Independent Electoral Commission (KANSIEC) has
concluded arrangements for the conduct of elections in all the 44 local
government areas of the state tomorrow.
The Chairman KANSIEC,
Professor Garba Ibrahim Sheka, said non-sensitive election materials had been
distributed to all the local government areas, while sensitive materials would
be distributed today.
Professor Sheka said necessary arrangements ranging from posting
of electoral officers, provision of logistics and election materials and
security had been made to ensure a hitch-free exercise.
Daily Trust also gathered
that 25 political parties, including leading opposition party, PDP, are
expected to participate in tomorrow’s elections.
Similarly, 12, 000 security
personnel have been reportedly deployed to the 44 local government areas to man
the elections.
Addressing a press conference
yesterday, the Kano State police spokesman, DSP Magaji Musa Majia, said the
security personnel included police, military, DSS, NSCDC, immigration, customs,
prisons, NDLEA and FRSC.
Majia, however, said no state
government-owned security apparatus such as Hisbah, KAROTA or voluntary organizations
such as vigilantes, Boys’ Scout and Man ‘O’ War would be allowed to wear
uniforms or engage in any activity in uniform on the day of the elections.
