The spokesperson of Afenifere, Yinka Odumakin has faulted the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, decision to use Card Reader for the elections.
Odumakin made this remark while he was waiting to be accredited at Unit 020, Grammar school, in Ojodu Local Council Development Area, Lagos at about 11: 45 am.
It was massively reported that there were hitches in the usage of card reader for the elections nation wide.
“The people were here before the INEC officials. Things are going on smoothly here and the queue is moving. There is no form of violence. The security here are idle but it is good that they were around but there were few challenges in some other units around here.
“In the next unit before us, the card reader is not working properly and some other areas across the state which includes Victoria Island, Ikoyi, Ikeja and so on. INEC ought to have done sufficient tests before using the card reader for the election. If the situation persists, a lot of people will be disenfranchised
“From the reports I had, the exercise is not the same up north like we are having down south here and we are suppose to be one country,” he said.
