The minister said the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System didn’t recognise his fingerprint and face, initially, but later did and he voted seamlessly.
Ngige appealed to the electoral officials at polling stations 006 and 008 where voters protested that the INEC officials threatened to end voting after the official hours.
He told the INEC officials to extend their time to capture those who had been accredited since they didn’t arrive on time for the exercise.
The presiding officer in the polling station, Kenneth John, said that there were 328 registered voters in Ngige’s polling station, out of which 105 had voted, adding that in 30 minutes they would round off voting.
He said, “I voted for candidates of my choice, according to my conscience. The exercise is peaceful and the exercise started late. I came around 10 am but the officers were not here.
