Akiotun blamed the non arrival of the materials at the ward to logistic problems by the EDISEC officials.

“As I speak to you, materials are yet to arrive at my ward; and as you can seen there is a large turnout of voters waiting for EDISEC officials to arrive with materials.

“Once they come we can start voting and I hope the process will be peaceful and hitch free at the end of the day.”
