NigeriaElections2023: Yayi raises alarm over BVAS ‘misplacement’, inadequate INEC officials in Ogun
“As the electoral act as clearly stated, there is no alternative, in any polling unit where the BVAS machine is not working, that election has to be postponed and conducted the following day and when you look at the process, once a polling unit left out that means the election is inconclusive until that election is held before you can have a complete election, so I hope the INEC with their staff will be on top of their game.
“I was reliably informed that the ad hoc staff engaged that the INEC are not adequate, they are short of staff in some areas across the length and breadth of the Senatorial District.” Meanwhile, the House of Representatives candidate of the Labour Party in Yewa South and Ipokia Federal constituency, Tade Afolabi, has commended the INEC for a peaceful election.
Afolabi said, “Everything went fine apart from the fact that you do your accreditation and vote simultaneously unlike four years ago when you would first do your accreditation before voting. “With the turn out now, you can’t really tell because people are still coming out and we are happy that accreditation is done with voting simultaneously”.All rights reserved.
