According to her, the early arrival was due to the deployment of Electoral Officials to the Registration Area Centres, RACs where they slept overnight.
When asked why voting did not commence on time despite the early arrival of the INEC officials, the REC said that though they arrived on time they had to wait for the official time to commence voting.
She appealed to the electorate to continue to maintain peace to avoid cancellation of their votes as a result of violence.
