When Kogi State Governor, Idris Wada, discovered that his wife, Halimat's name was not on voters’ register, he got angry blurting out, “Something funny is going on here,”.
Following this development, Incidence Form had to be filled by officials of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), who complained that they didn't even have enough of such forms.
INEC had to fill such forms for many people having problems with their accreditation.
Governor Wada stated he will take up the issue with the Resident Electoral Commissioner, REC.
The card reader also failed when the governor was to be accredited and INEC had to resort to manual register for his registration.
The angry Governor Wada blamed INEC for allegedly deliberately sabotaging the exercise.
Voting may start a bit late at the Governor’s polling unit because of the delay in the accreditation of voters owing to the malfunctioning of card readers.
