Accreditation of voters in most polling units in Lugbe on the Airport Road, for Saturday’s FCT Area Councils Poll, was delayed, following late arrival of INEC officials and election materials.
A correspondent of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) who went around polling units in Lugbe Federal Housing Estate, Gosa, Trade Moore and Galadimawa reports that the accreditation which was supposed to start by 8.30. a.m., could not start as at 10.15 a.m.
NAN further reports that INEC officials were also absent in most of the units as at 10.15 a.m.
However, security operatives were on ground in most polling unites visited with no visible presence of voters.
At Galadimawa Primary School polling unit, a handful of voters and security operatives were on ground waiting for INEC officials arrival.
Some motorists also used the opportunity to fuel their vehicles at filling stations on the Airport Road.
INEC had deployed 12,000 ad hoc staff to cover the election in the six FCT Area Councils of AMAC, Abaji, Gwagwalada, Bwari, Kwali and Kuje. (NAN)
