Chief of Staff to President Muhammadu Buhari, Abba Kyari, and the President’s Yusuf Buhari were amongst the early persons to caste their votes at the Presidential Villa, ward 021 and 022; on Saturday
The election which was marred by massive failure of the Card readers deployed by the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC, was however adjudged to be peaceful and orderly by the Chief of Staff to the President, Abba Kyari.
The card reader failure almost disrupted the election which witnessed massive voters turnout and which did not start until 9.05 am, even as some of the voters had arrived the venue as early as 6.30am.
As at 10.30am, a total of 282 persons had voted at the Presidential Villa, as the INEC officials hag to resort to the use of incident form to avoid disenfranchising the voters.
BusinessDay gathered that out of the 282 voters recorded, INEC card readers refused to identify the finger prints of 156 of the voters.
Details shortly…..
