Ekiti Decides: Card reader rejects PDP candidate’s PVC

The PDP governorship candidate , Prof . Kolapo Olusola , has still not been able to

cast his ballot after the second attempt .

His Permanent Voter Card was first rejected by the card reader and he waited a

while before going back to try it again , but there was no success .

He expressed fear that if this

could happen to him , others

might also be disenfranchised

because there was no

alternative to the machine .

He said , “ I cannot say I don ’ t

have confidence in the electoral

process but I have my fears .

“ My card has been rejected

twice now . It is amazing and

they asked me if the card is

bent or something but you all

can see the card is not bent. The

REC should do something about that .

“ APC agents are going about distributing money to voters in the presence of INEC

officials and security men .”

He said he would still stay back to make another attempt to vote
