NIGERIAN singer, David Adeleke, popularly known as Davido, has blasted the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over the late arrival of election materials in some parts of Edo State during Saturday’s, September 21, governorship election in the state.

In a post he shared on his official X platform, he called out INEC, urging the election umpire to do better while clarifying that his concerns were borne out of the fact he had a root in Edo State.

“Bruh, #inecnigeria fix up! We can’t continue like this. My mum is from Edo, for those wondering why I’m interested in the election, but we as Nigerians should be concerned. #inecnigeria, shame on you.

“I know how many times I had to come in here and rant before they got it right in Osun! It’s really bad. God help us,” he said in the post.

The ICIR reported that all three senatorial districts in Edo State witnessed delayed arrival of voting materials for the state election.

Subsequently, the commission, through its national commissioner and member, information and voter education committee, Mohammed Haruna, announced the extension of voting time in areas where the process commenced late.

“To ensure that no voter is disenfranchised, the commission wishes to reiterate that, in line with our regulations and guidelines, voting will be extended wherever it commenced late and will continue until the last voter on the queue who arrived at the polling unit by 2.30 pm has voted,” he said.

Approximately 2.25 million people who collected their permanent voter’s card (PVC), according to the data from INEC, are expected to cast their ballot in the 4,519 polling units across the 18 Local Government Areas of the state.
