The Chairman of the Rivers State Independent Electoral Commission (RSIEC), Dr. Michael Odey, has commended the Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) for the timely and efficient delivery of electoral materials to all twelve riverine local government areas in the state.
Dr. Odey noted a significant improvement in logistics compared to previous elections, attributing the success to a strategic partnership with MWUN. Under the leadership of Comrade Francis Bunu Abi, President-General of the Union, over 300 speedboats were deployed to ensure early and uninterrupted distribution of voting materials across the state’s coastal communities.
He praised the Union’s coordination and commitment, highlighting that all designated locations received their materials without delay or disruption. According to Dr. Odey, MWUN’s seamen and boat districts executed the task with precision, ensuring that no riverine area was left behind.
Expressing his satisfaction, the RSIEC Chairman described the operation as a model of excellence and thanked the Union for its vital role in facilitating a smooth electoral process.
