The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has commenced the airlift of electoral materials for the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) in preparation for the upcoming Edo State gubernatorial election, scheduled for Saturday, September 21.

This critical operation aims to ensure the timely and secure delivery of sensitive election materials, a move that underscores the collaboration between Nigeria's military and civil authorities to promote a smooth and peaceful electoral process.


Group Captain Kabiru Ali, Deputy Director of Public Relations and Information, confirmed this development in a statement released on Wednesday, September 18. He emphasized that the airlift operation is part of a broader strategy to facilitate logistics and ensure the election's smooth conduct.

"The airlift operation demonstrates the collaboration between NAF and INEC, aimed at facilitating logistics and ensuring a peaceful election process in Edo State," Ali stated.


This initiative follows a recent meeting between Air Marshal Hasan Bala Abubakar, Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), and INEC Chairman, Professor Mahmood Yakubu. During the meeting, Abubakar reaffirmed NAF's commitment to aiding the electoral process.


"In fulfilment of NAF's constitutional responsibility of providing Military Aid to Civil Authority, we are ensuring the swift movement of electoral materials," Abubakar said.
