As voting continues across various states of the Federation including the federal capital Territory, the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission INEC Prof Mahmood Yakubu has rated high the performance of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation system BVAS deployed for the conduct of the election.
Yakubu at a news conference in Abuja said reports from the field on the election have so far been encouraging. He however raised concerns over attacks on polling units in some states where hoodlums made away with the BVAS machines.
The INEC boss also reacted to late arrival of election materials in some polling units citing logistics and security challenges.
He restated the commission’s commitment to address all challenges and ensure no eligible citizen is disenfranchised.
