My Finger Was Recognised At 11 Th Try – Gov. Aliyu by MrPatoh: 5:03am On Mar 29, 2015
Governor Babangida Aliyu of Niger has called
for more public education on card reader
and voter card before using them for
elections .
Aliyu made the call after casting his vote at
the Musa Umar Ward Polling Unit in Minna on
Saturday .
He said the use of the two innovations had
thrown up the challenges encountered
during Saturday ’ s election .
“ You can imagine a situation where the
card reader fails to identify me and I even
have to use my 10 fingers on the reader
without success. It was at the eleventh try
that my finger was recognised .
“ This is a delay that can be avoided . This
card has my name , my picture and this is my
polling unit. I have been recognised by even
the INEC official but the process has to be
followed .
“ I think more needs to be done on this
challenge before we go into another poll .
This can be rectified at the April 11
elections ’’, he said .
NAN reports that voting started in some
wards at 2p . m . due to late accreditation.
Low turnout of registered voters was
noticed in some places at the end of
accreditation .
At Kofae Isa Gomina Polling Unit 05 , Barki
Sale , only 85 out of 1 , 716 people were
accredited while 564 out of 1, 278 were
accredited at Dogon Kowa .
At Kofar Gidan Sarki Unit in new Bwari in
Tafa Local Government Area , 359 out of 912
registered voters were accredited to vote,
while at Bakin Kasuwa Primary School 2 in
Bagama A of Suleja , 405 out the 683 were
accredited to vote.
At Shiroro , voters resorted to jumping
queue due to tiredness from long waiting.
Mr Akoniyin Oluwasegun , INEC ’ s Presiding
Officer in Shiroro , said “ I need more
support , even the police officers are tired. ”
