Card Readers work perfectly in Kogi Guber Polls – NAN investigations
Most of the Card Reader machines
deployed for the conduct of Kogi
Governorship election have been
working effectively across the state.
Correspondents of the News Agency of
Nigeria (NAN) who visited some polling
units in different parts of the state
observed that not much hitches had been
recorded by INEC officials handling the
card readers.
Some party agents and election officials
who spoke with NAN in separate
interviews also confirmed that there was
great improvement in the effectiveness
of the machines compared to the last
general elections.
A visit to polling units in Okene, Ogori-
Magongo, Adavi, Ajaokuta, Kabba-Bunu,
Mopa-Muro, Yagba West and Yagba East
local government areas of the state
indicated that the machines were
working well.
NAN reports that only a few challenges
were encountered with the machines in
Kabba/Bunu, Ijumu and Ajaokuta local
government areas of the state.
However, an INEC official in Egbada-
Egga in Ijumu Local Government Area,
Mr Michael Obinna, assured that the
hitches associated with a few of the
machines were being addressed.
It will recalled that about 4,000 card
reading machines had been deployed by
INEC for the governorship election in the
state.
The commission said the machines had
been ‘’configured, tested and ready to
go’’.
Meanwhile, the election has been
generally peaceful across the state.
