No fewer than seven females and 53 males would contest the three senatorial seats in Oyo state in the February 16 polls.

Mutiu Agboke, the Independent National Electoral Commission Resident Electoral Commissioner in Oyo state, made this known on Tuesday while addressing newsmen on its preparedness for the forthcoming general elections.

Agboke also disclosed that 26 females out of 202 candidates would contest for the 14 Federal Constituencies of the state.

The INEC REC said the commission had trained 351 Supervisory Presiding Officers and another 28,352 ad-hoc staff, which comprised Presiding Officers and Assistant Presiding Officers.

He revealed that an Oath form would be administered on all the categories of ad-hoc staff that were expected to participate in the elections.

On logistic, Agboke stated that about 90 per cent of non-sensitive materials have been received at the state level.

He said that INEC had signed a Memorandum of Understanding with National Union of Road Transport Workers and the National Association of Road Transport Owners to ensure early and prompt arrival of materials and staff at the various polling units on the election days.

Agboke promised to domesticate the MoU at the state level with the aim of achieving the same purpose.
