Some transporters engaged to move materials for Anambra Central re-run election in Idemili North Local Government Area, abandoned the assignment because the part payment they were given were insufficient, Mr Ayeleso Olutope, INEC Electoral Officer said.
Olutope, INEC Electoral Officer in-charge of Idemili North Local Government Area of Anambra, told newsmen at Ogidi on Saturday that all materials for the election were supposed to have be moved to polling units at 5 a.m on Saturday.
Olutope regretted the hitches recorded, noting that while some transporters conveyed the materials, some refused on the grounds that the part payment were insufficient for the job.
He also said that some NYSC member engaged as ad-hoc workers also demanded that their stipend be paid before they commence work.
The corps members claimed that some of their colleagues have received alert from their banks for the election duty while they did not get.
A transporter, who gave his name as Johnson Uchendu, said because of the hike in the price of petrol, 50 per cent of the amount he agreed for the job was not enough to fuel his vehicles for this job.
