Four politicians in Abraka, have assessed the presidential election in the area, describing it as the best and most peaceful election since 1999.

They spoke in an interview with journalists in Unit 12 Abraka, Urhoka Unit 9, and Unit 3, Ward 2, Ugono-Abraka respectively.

Those who spoke are a former House of Assembly aspirant in Ethiope East, Hon. Joshua Atigogo; Chairman People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Ward 1 Abraka, Comrade Ejiro Odeseneka; a staunch party faithful in PDP, Comrade Solomon Ogbebor; and Delta State Chairman, Police Community Relation Committee, PCRC, Comrade Oliver Eyefia.

Atigogo expressed joy in the orderly disposition of voters, noting that the future is bright for the nation’s electoral system.

While predicting victory for the People’s Democratic Party, PDP, Presidential Candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, he enjoined them to also turn out in their large numbers to vote massively for party’s governorship candidate, Rt. (Hon.)Sheriff Oborewovri at the March 11 polls.

Odeseneka and Ogbebor, Atigogo thanked voters for coming out en mass to cast their votes and urged them to reciprocate same energy come March 11, for the governorship to vote for PDP.

On his part, the PCRC chair decried the late commencement of voting, adding that it took the combined efforts of he and a few party faithful to persuade voters from going back home due to the delay.

While saying that the BVAS mode of voting was a welcome initiative, Eyefia noted that overcrowding of the machine was a major challenge at the centre as it affected network reception.

He observed that overcrowding of the BVAS machine necessitated the poor reception of network and called for voters sensitization.

Eyefia said : “ We noticed that the BVAS machine was not working well when the crowd was pressing heavily on the officials, so; we organized the crowd in orderly manner and the machine began to work effectively and efficiently.

“ We urge INEC to embark on a sensitization exercise to let the people know that crowding the BVAS machine affects network reception, which in turn will slow down the pace of voting. There should be space, like, 10 feet away from the BVAS.”
