Responding Olusola said that hr would still exercise patience so as to vote in his election.

Speaking on the sidelines of the incident, Olusola said he was disappointed with the type of card reader deployed for the exercise by the Independent National Electoral Commission(INEC).

” I got to my polling unit early today to cast my vote and to my surprise the INEC card reader rejected my card.

” I was standing in front of the INEC presiding officer for about 20 minutes while they were ‎busy battling with card reader.

” If I do not cast my vote, it does not mean I am not ready to vote but ‎the INEC card reader did not accredit my card which automatically nullifies me from exercising my civic right.

” Four years ago, it was the same voter card that I used to cast my vote and the card reader did not reject it.

” I will officially report my experience to the REC and I believe appropriate actions will be taken,” he said.
