Mild drama played out on Saturday at the Polling Unit of Mr Eyitayo Jegede, the flag bearer of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) in the Ondo State Governorship Election.
This occurred at Polling Unit 9, Ward 2 in Akure South Local Government Area of the state.
The PDP candidate and his wife had arrived at the venue at about 9:07am and later joined the queue to cast their votes.
They waited for about two hours in the queue before it got to their turn at about 11:15 am.
However, the smart card reader failed to read their thumbprints while they stepped aside for the next voter in the queue to get accredited.
The issue was later resolved and the couple was allowed to cast their ballots.
Mr. Jedede had condemned the delay and faulted the long voting time.
He queried why the card reader failed exactly when it was his turn and that of his wife to vote.
The PDP candidate also decried the absence of tech experts from INEC at his polling unit.
