The Election Monitor (EM) has said that the next week Saturday’s governorship election in Ekiti State would be the most heavily policed election in Nigeria’s history.
The Coordinator of the EM, Mr. Abiodun Ajijola, stated this on Tuesday in Abuja at the Public Presentation of ‘The 2018 Ekiti State Governorship Election Observation and Research Guide’.
According to him, the report that the Nigeria Police will deploy 30,000 officers for the July 14 Ekiti State governorship election, is a sharp increase from the 18,000 deployed for the 2014 governorship election in the state.
