Published

on

Bayelsa State Governor, Duoye Diri, has commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the process put in place for the state’s by-election.

The governor, who voted at his hometown in Sampou Ward 7 Unit 4 accompanied by his wife, Gloria Diri, said INEC’s decision of having accreditation and voting simultaneously saved time and energy.

He said: “The process was faster and even smoother. The card reader identified me as soon as my voter’s card was slotted in.

“So I can describe the process as smooth, fast and peaceful. Certainly, the simultaneous accreditation and voting enhanced the process rather than waiting for hours before coming back to vote. I think this decision of taking them at the same time is far better than what we used to do.”

Diri said he is optimistic that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) would clinch victory judging by the pedigree of its candidates for the Bayelsa West and Central senatorial districts.

He further described the National Assembly as a place for serious-minded persons and not for jokers.

“We fielded quality candidates and you can see the difference between the PDP candidates and the others. The Senate is not a place for jokers. The Senate is not a place for school dropouts or people who were dismissed from service,” he added.
