Indeed the introductionh of the card reader is welcome development. Infact it is the begining of electoral fairness in Nigeria. Thumbs up to Jega on that. But I have been thinking that this system of check-mate should have been introduced at the ballot papers and thumb printing level. Because it has become obvious that even as the electoral officers are busy at the pooling units reading the electorate's card with the card readers, an out of public excercise is also undercover, going on at the electorates' unawares. While they are reading the cards at the polling units, numerous ballot papers had already been thumb printed and kept for result anouncement. Evident from the arrest of an APC women leader that was recorded in Lagos this morning.
