Six days to the Presidential and National Assembly Elections, the Independent National Electoral Commission in Lagos State on Sunday organised another training exercise for about 846 Supervisory Presiding Officers. Yusuf said: “We are trying to make sure all our supervisory presiding officers are on the same page because the earlier training excercises were done in all the 20 local government offices of INEC in the state. He urged the SPOs to uphold the ethics of electoral officers which included professionalism, transparency, equity and impartiality. “If you don’t have these features as an electoral officer, you tend to create problems for yourself,” he said. Akinbiyi said: “You must put all these training into proper use and guide the Presiding Officers (POs) and Assistant Presiding Officers (APOs) well.
