Smart Card Reader failed to read Peoples Democratic Party’s candidate, Eyitayo Jegede’s card and he was asked to step aside for other voters on the queue on which he had been waiting.

The Smart Card Reader could also not read the PVC of Eno, Mr Jegede’s wife.

The two of them had to step aside for other voters to exercise their franchise.

The machine had previously worked perfectly till when Jegede and the wife were to cast their vote.

The PDP candidate and his wife had arrived at Ward 2, Polling Unit 10, Akure South Local Government, around 09:00am and had been waiting on the queue.
