Yakubu made this known on Tuesday while visiting INEC Local Government Area (LGA) offices in the state.
“In terms of the level of preparation so far, I am really impressed by what the state and local government offices have achieved.
“What remains is the sensitive materials, which will arrive on Tuesday next week.
“On Wednesday, there will be inspection of sensitive materials by all parties, candidates, observers, the media, security agencies, and officials of the commission.
