Some card readers have failed to respond to voters’cards in several polling units in some parts of the Federal Capital Territory in the Presidential and National Assembly Elections.

Some polling units visited in company of the African Union Observer Mission were PU 009 in Wuse Zone 3 Government Secondary School and PU 001, Tudun Wada Government Secondary Schoo in Abuja where the readers malfunctioned before being rectified. The turnout of Nigerians was impressive as voters turned out in large numbers at both centres to exercise their rights.

The verification started at 8:09 a.m. at PU 009 while it was already ongoing at PU 001. Security men, party agents and local and foreign observers were also seen at the polling units.
