“You can see the crowd here I don’t think that most people will be allowed to vote with slow working of the BIVAS. I have stayed about 25 minutes here and I was told to go and come back that they will rectify the BIVAS. We are highly disappointed. If a number of people are disenfranchised, what do you expect. People will lose their temper and anything could happen. INEC ought to have been completely ready by telling the people they are ready,” he said.
