Election: Voter apathy recorded in parts of FCT
Poor voter turnout has greeted Saturday’s Governorship, Chairmanship and Councillorship in parts of the Federal Capital Territory Abuja, the News Agency of Nigeria reports.
A voter who pleaded anonymity at the GSS Tudun Wada, Wuse Zone IV, Abuja, polling station, told NAN that he was worried about the low turnout.“Voters feel discouraged by going through a rigorous process and at the end not getting the desired result,’’ he said. Similar low turnout has been reported at Polling Units 09c, 010c and 010b, AMAC Housing Estate along the Airport Road, Abuja.
