“Maybe because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is not participating in the elections that is why it is like this.
“Well, I will wait for them to come, let’s hope that by 11 a.m. or 12 noon they will bring the materials so that we can cast our votes,’’ she said.
Another voter, Mr Farouk Mohammed said “we are not happy but we will wait for them maybe they are having logistics problems’’.
At 9.40 a.m., materials were being sorted out by the officials at EDSIEC office in Oredo Local Government Area.
The Chairman of the EDSIEC, Prof. Stanley Orobator, had said that voting and accreditation would be done simultaneously.
