Aregbesola
Gov. Rauf Aregbesola of Osun on Saturday commended the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for introducing card readers for the 2015 general elections.
Aregbesola spoke after casting his vote at his polling unit, Unit Four, Ward Eight, Ifofin in Ilesha East Local Government Area of Osun.
The governor said that the card reader device had helped drastically to reduce possible manipulation of the electoral process.
According to him, the ongoing 2015 general election in the state was better than what was witnessed during the Aug. 9, 2014 governorship election in the state.
The governor commended the security arrangement, which he described as civil in contrast with what the people of the state experienced during the August poll in the state.
He noted that in spite the initial hitches and hiccups in the use of the card reader electronic device, subsequent elections would be better.
“We must give kudos to those who introduced the use of card readers for this election because the introduction has improved the processes in terms of efficiency and credibility of the voting exercise.
“In spite of the little complaints reported in some locations, INEC had recorded success as far as applying the use of the card reader is concerned,” Aregbesola said (NAN)
