The Independent National Electoral Commission has accused Adams Oshiomhole, a former Edo State Governor and former National Chairman of the All Progressive Congress, of deploying non-functional card readers for the state's governorship election on Saturday.
He spoke with journalists after casting his ballot at Polling Unit 01, Ward 10 in Uzairue North-East under Etsako West government Area.
He said, "Furthermore, this is also always the very best attendance."
Since 1999, I've even seen them. Elderly women and men dressed impressively.
“The turnout showed that folks have shown that they're ready for democracy. My only disappointment thus far is that the machine isn't working.
“The INEC officials have reported but they need not brought a replacement machine.

“This exercise is meant to possess a hour . If they're doing this in my ward, it means somebody wants to get rid of the amount of voters here. But I even have told them (voters) to remain here, they need a right to vote.
“Nobody should come here and be unable to vote due to INEC’s failure.
“I cannot believe that this is often a standard error because before bringing the machine here, you ought to have tested it. I pray that INEC should be ready to regularise them (the machines).”
