“As you can see, the voting process here is going on peacefully and accreditation was okay,  but the machines are the  issue. These hiccups should be resolved so that our people that have turned out massively can vote. The election is very peaceful here in my area”.

“I want to commend the electorate for the massive turn out. I am  very sure of victory for our party,  the  PDP and  the hitches noticed now should be resolved to allow all eligible voters carry out their civic responsibilities”, he said.
