Sule told Ejes Gist News Nigeria on Sunday in Lokoja that election materials and officials had already been redeployed to the area for the election.
“Saturday’s presidential and National Assembly elections in Ganaja Village, Ajaokuta Local Government, presented some difficulties due to logistical issues.
“We attempted to find a way for it to occur on the previous day, but were unsuccessful; therefore, we must move it to Sunday.
“The State Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC), Dr. Hale Longpet, has authorized the election to take place this Sunday, February 26.
“We do not want some people to be disenfranchised in this extremely important election,” he said.
Sule urged the citizens of Ganaja Village to participate in the election and exercise their right to vote without interruption.
