Jedege spoke with newsmen shortly after he cast his vote at Ward 2, Unit 9 at Sacred Heart Primary School in Akure. Jedege, who waited for about 30minutes in the queue before the card reader could clear him to vote, expressed his dissatisfaction over the malfunctioning of the card reader. He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to put more effort into making the card readers work perfectly well to enable the electorate to cast their votes. Earlier, there was a downpour but thousands of prospective voters defied it and waited at their polling units to cast their votes. Jegede who arrived at his polling unit for accreditation and voting in company with his wife, Eno Jegede, expressed delight with the large turnout of voters.
