The Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) in Oyo State, Adeniran Tella, says disruption of the electoral process on February 25 by some suspected hoodlums in two polling units of Oluyole and Ibadan North East/South-East Federal Constituencies was the reason for a supplementary election in the affected polling units.

Mr Tella made the clarifications on Monday at the fourth annual Ramadan lecture series held within the premises of the commission’s headquarters in Ibadan.

According to him, the conduct of the supplementary election also became necessary due to the failure of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).

“As a result of the above, the margin of lead between the two leading candidates remained very low compared to the total number of Permanent Voter Cards (PVCs) collected in the affected polling units; hence, there is inconclusiveness,” he said.

Mr Tella urged all stakeholders in the affected constituencies, especially the candidates, to conduct themselves orderly during the election.

He said that security agencies had assured members of the public of adequate and maximum security.

The REC said the commission was ready to conduct free, fair and credible elections in the affected areas.

On the theme of the Ramadan Lecture, he said: “Good governance is indeed the collective efforts of all of us, especially critical stakeholders in the electioneering process.

“Good governance means that the process and political institutions must, as a matter of fact, produce positive results that will meet the yearnings and needs of the society while making the best use of the resources at their disposal.”

The guest lecturer, Sheikh Buhari Omo-Musa, said that providing good governance by those in positions of authority would reduce unemployment, insecurity, bad economy and other challenges facing the country.
