INEC Officials Absent as Voting Delayed in Warri South During Nigerian Presidential Election

Reports from Warri South, Delta state, Nigeria indicate that the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials have not been seen, and no election process has commenced for hours. According to eyewitnesses, voters have been waiting in long queues at polling stations, but no officials have been present to oversee the process.

The situation has caused significant frustration and concern among residents who fear that the delay could lead to voter disenfranchisement. With only a few hours left until voting is due to stop at 4 pm, there is growing concern that many voters may not have the opportunity to cast their ballots.

The Nigerian Electoral Commission has yet to release a statement on the situation, but many are calling on them to take swift action to ensure that the election process is fair and transparent. The delay in starting the election has also sparked concerns about the security of the process, with some residents worried that it may lead to violence and unrest.

As the Nigerian presidential election continues to unfold, it is essential that all stakeholders work together to ensure that the process is transparent and accountable. The Nigerian people deserve nothing less than a free and fair election, and any attempts to subvert that process must be met with the full force of the law. The Nigerian government and INEC officials must act urgently to address the situation in Warri South and ensure that all eligible voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots.
