Over 10,000 security agents mobilised for Oyo LG elections — OYSIEC

Chairman, Oyo State Independent Electoral Commission (OYSIEC), Mr Isiaka Olagunju has disclosed that over 10,000 security agents and about 16,000 ad-hoc staff are to be involved in the election to be held in 6,393 polling units across the state.

This comes as political parties expressed confidence in a free and fair local government election in Oyo on Saturday, just as they are upbeat about their chances.

Speaking with the Nigerian Tribune, on Thursday, Chairman, Inter-Party Advisory Council (IPAC), Mr Adegbenro Fagbemi said political parties were satisfied that the processes leading up to Saturday’s election were on track.


He stated this as representatives of political parties, at the OYSIEC headquarters, Ibadan, monitored the loading of electoral materials into trucks for distribution to the various polling units, on Thursday.

He, however, said the IPAC’s ‘trivial’ concern is that it would have desired that each truck conveying electoral materials should also carry an IPAC member to monitor and ensure safe landing of the materials at OYSIEC offices.
