News: INEC playing with Nigeria’s future ─ George



Chief Bode George

The Peoples Democratic Party Board of Trustees member, Chief Bode George, says the Chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, Prof. Attahiru Jega, failed to have an alternative plan for possible failure of smart card readers used for the elections.

George, who lost his ward to the APC, said if Jega had listened to the PDP’s suggestion that a viable alternative should be planned, the problem of faulty card readers would have been easily resolved.

He said, “Jega is experimenting with our lives, our future. The card readers have failed in many places. Where they worked, fingerprints could not be identified.

“People are ready to vote, but Jega has not provided the logistics. And we have said this election is not the time to massively use the card readers.

“INEC did not have incident form at my polling unit. My name and details were written on a scrap of paper.”

He, however, urged Nigerians to exercise patience and restraint in view of many irregularities in the voting process.
