APGA's Soludo says he will win Anambra governorship election
Meanwhile, Legit.ng had previously reported that the governorship candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Chukwuma Soludo, said he was very confident he would win the ongoing Anambra state governorship election.
It was reported that while speaking with journalists on Saturday, November 6, after casting his vote at his polling unit in Aguata LGA of Anambra state, Soludo said even if only 100 people vote in the election, he would win.
Soludo arrived at his polling unit early to vote but he was not able to exercise his franchise due to malfunctioning of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS).
He further lamented that people who had been waiting since 7 am had not voted at around 1 pm, asking INEC to fix the technology for them to vote.
Soludo finally voted more than five hours after he arrived at his polling unit 002.
BVAS device experience glitch at 2 polling units
Two of the BVAS deployed for use at two polling units at Ward 5 of Umuogbu village, Awka, Anambra state, have been declared faulty.
The INEC ad-hoc staff at the polling units informed Legit.ng staff that the devices seem sensitive to light and wouldn't capture the electorates who are out in their number in Awka South LGA for the governorship election.
