Prof. Chukwuma Soludo, the Governorship Candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Saturday’s poll cast his vote after waiting for more than five hours.
Soludo came to the polling unit, located at Afiyi Square, at about 11.30 a.m. but was not able to vote because the Biometric Voter Accreditation System failed to capture him.
After casting his vote, Soludo commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for its efforts to ensure a peaceful and smooth electoral process. “You can also see that in spite of the delay, our people waited patiently and are so determined to cast their votes, no matter the time.“I believe the will of God will prevail, no matter the delay. APGA will win.“I also believe we have the popular mandate of the people and I believe the system will deliver at the end of the day,” he said.
