The nation’s Presidential and National Assembly elections are scheduled to hold in few hours.
But reports say INEC was having logistics challenges that could affect the exercise.
According to the reports, in some states, electoral materials had not been distributed as of 9:pm Friday night, making some members of the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to allege that there is a deliberate plot to sabotage the exercise.
