The All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) candidate in the ongoing Anambra governorship election, Charles Soludo, has finally cast his vote after being delayed for five hours due to technical difficulties.
The APGA candidate had issued a complaint earlier about the accreditation process, stating that it was too slow.
It was gathered that Soludo voted at polling unit 002, Isuofia ward.
Reports say that the slowness of the process was caused by the Bimodal Verification Device which is used to accredit voters to enable them cast their ballot.
Despite his frustration at the slow process, Soludo called for calm among his supporters, stating that he a person who follows due process.
As a result of the delay caused by the BVAs, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) extended the voting time for the election.
Soludo was relieved after voting but said he held reservations for the probability of the large crowd of voters who were yet to cast their ballots.
Soludo, who voted at exactly 5:07pm, said what was at stake is the 17 million people in Anambra whose lives and interests matter and must be made to live in a prosperous and live-able state.
He tasked INEC to improve its technology while asking the police to live up to its responsibility and ensure security is provided until the end of the exercise.
