Mr Eyitayo Jegede, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has accused the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of flooding his constituency in Akure with malfunctioning card readers in order to stop his supporters from voting.

Mr Jegede made the accusation after casting his vote at his polling unit in the Cathedral area of Akure, the Ondo state capital. He said he was glad that he was reinstated as a candidate but was unhappy that many of the card reader brought to his constituency in Akure were faulty. He said he was concerned why it was taking INEC so long to replace the malfunctioning card readers. He called on his supporter to stay on the queues and make sure they vote. He also called on them to escort their ballots until they are taken to the final collation centre.
