Ekiti State Governor, Kayode Fayemi has said he looked forward to a time when Nigeria would be able to conduct all her elections in one day, possibly through electronic voting.
Speaking shortly after casting his vote at 12:28 am at his country home, at Ward 11, Ogilolo Polling unit in Isan-Ekiti. He said the current election schedule where all elective positions are conducted separately “is not a good use of time and effort”.
The governor however commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for quickly addressing some hiccups that could have paralysed the smooth conduct of the 2019 general elections; saying that he would be happy if the process run smoothly in all parts of the state just as the card reader worked perfectly in Isan Ekiti where he voted.
” There may have been some errors in the past but they have quickly corrected those and they have done well in this election.“This is not a good use of our time, the time we commit to this effort, the man working hour is just too much. The governor also said the election went reasonably well and peaceful but turnout was lower than it was during the presidential election a fortnight ago.
