Adams Oshiomhole complains about the Card Readers at the ongoing Governorship election in Edo State.
The sacked National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress, APC, and former Governor of Edo State, Adams Oshiomhole, has lamented that some Card Readers being used at the ongoing Governorship election in the State, are not working at some Polling Units, Page 36 learnt.
He said this after casting his vote at Polling Unit 01, Ward 10, in Uzairue North-East, Etsako West Local Government Area.
He however, warned the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, not to compromise.
His words: “Since 1999, this is the highest turnout that I have seen. Elderly women and men turned out impressively.
“The turnout showed that people have shown that they are ready for democracy. My only disappointment so far, is that the machine is not working.
“The INEC Officials have reported, but they have not brought a new machine.
“This exercise is supposed to have a closing time. If they are doing this in my Ward, it means that somebody wants to remove the number of voters here. But I have told them (voters) to stay here, they have a right to vote.
“Nobody should come here and be unable to vote, because of INEC’s failure.
“I cannot believe that this is an ordinary error, because before bringing the machine here, you should have tested it. I pray that INEC should be able to regularise them (the machines).”
