Recall that there were apprehensions expressed by voters in the state early on Saturday when sensitive materials required for the election were delivered late to distribution areas.

Reports say as at at 7:41am, on Saturday sensitive materials for areas in Fagge and Nasarawa Local Goverment Areas of Kano State, stacked in boxes were waiting to be distributed as Corps members were seen collecting ballot boxes, papers and INEC branded plastic tables.

The same situation played out during the last presidential and National Assembly polls that a good number of eligible voters at Magwan polling centre within the Giginyu Ward in the Nasarawa local government area of Kano State were delayed in casting their votes due to the lateness in the arrival of election materials.
