The Chairman, Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC) Dr. Michael Odey, has hailed the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) for the prompt delivery of the local government electoral materials to all the twelve litoral locations in the state without a hitch.
Dr. Odey admitted that this time around there was a paradigm shift in the distribution of electoral materials to all the riverine areas of the state, having struck an agreement with the leadership of the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria towards the effective distribution of voting materials before time with three hundred speed boats hired to supply voting materials to all locations in the state.
Dr. Odey further explained that the MWUN leadership currently under the aegis of Comrade Francis Bunu Abi, President-General of the Union has supervised his seamen and boat districts to deliver on target the electoral materials for today’s Rivers State local governments election.
The RSIEC chairman, however, commended the Union for a job well executed for the LGA’s election in the state as all the riverine areas have no cause to complain over late delivery of voting materials for the election; expressing his satisfaction with the Union.
