Voting delayed as card reader malfunctions at Sanwo-Olu polling unit

Babajide Sanwo-Olu

Voting has yet to begin at Lateef Jakande/Femi Okunnu polling unit in Ikoyi where the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress in Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, is expected to vote.


The delay is as a result of a malfunctioning card reader.

One of the Independent National Electoral Commission officials at the polling unit said voting would not start until the two card readers assigned to the polling unit function.

“The two card readers have to work; we cannot start until the two are functioning,” the official said.

She said an INEC technician had been informed and was on his way to fix the problem.

A number of voters are already seated but Sanwo-Olu has yet to turn up for voting.
