The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has defended the award of a contract for printing election materials to Binani Printing Press Limited.
The printing press is alleged to be linked to the All Progressives Congress (APC) governorship candidate in Adamawa, Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed popularly known as Binani.
It was gathered that the contract was awarded for the printing of election results sheets and security documents for the general elections.
INEC National Commissioner and Chairman of Information and Voter Education, Festus Okoye, in a statement on Thursday, said the contract was handed out after competitive and transparent bidding.
However, Aishatu Dahiru Ahmed was not listed as one of the Directors of Binani Printing Press Limited.”
