Wada Accreditation: Card Reader Failed To Verify His PVC

                      

Kogi State Governor and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate Idris Wada has been accredited in his polling unit.

But it was not a smooth process for him as the Card Reader failed to verify his Permanent Voter Card. Wada arrived the Odu Ward 1 Unit in Anyigba at about 11.20am for accreditation. But he was not accredited until about 20 minutes later. Several attempts to make the card reader work failed.

The presiding officer, in a shaky voice, said: “His Excellency needs an incidence form.”

On failure of card readers, an obviously agitated Wada said: “How can that happen?” He said there was a plot to frustrate the election, vowing to call the Resident Electoral Commissioner (REC) to make an official complaint.

The governor expressed optimism that he would win if the process is free and fair. His wife, Halima, could not find her name on the register and also had to fill an incidence form.
