BAYELSA DECIDES: Gov Diri casts vote urges Free, Fair poll
The governor of Bayelsa State, Senator Douye Diri, his wife Gloria have casted their votes at about 8am at Kalama-owei Wari Unit 4, Ward 6, Sampou in Kolokuma/Opokuma LGA Bayelsa State.
He commended the process and urged INEC to ensure free, fair and credible process said BIVAS should be use well just as I have my own smooth experience here today.
The PDP candidate commended the Independent National aElectoral Commission (INEC) for improving their facilities and training of personnel.
The governor expressed this to journalists after casting his vote.
He however expressed concerns about the alleged restriction of Party(PDP) members and its agents from Nembe-Basambiri..
Diri emphasized that the process is an improvement on all other elections, that we have participated in, and it’s very seamless, very fast and if it continues like this, then I want to believe that INEC is improving not only on their facilities but the training of their personnel that are handling the process.
Moreso, “I think it’s too early to assert, as we are still putting our ears to the ground as to what is happening in and around other polling units.
” Meanwhile, I’m very satisfied with the process and the personnel that is handling the process.
Our serious concerns now is Nembe-Basambiri where PDP party members, most of them have been excluded, our agents have been stopped from going into Nembe, that is very disturbing. Our party has written to INEC we’re expecting them to take a drastic action to ensure our people are allowed to vote.
“Meanwhile, what we call for is a free, fair process where BIVAS should be used throughout the process today
