In his speech, Administrative Secretary, INEC, Oyo State, Alhaji Abiodun Oníkàté-Amosu explained that the Police plays a leading role in the electioneering process, saying the commission was making a compilation of dark spots in the state to ensure a smooth election process.

Mr. Oníkàté -Amosu added that INEC would soon take delivery of eight thousand units of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) for accreditation and transmission of results in all the 6390 polling units in Oyo state.
