Senate President, David Mark has expressed his worries over the malfunctioning card readers in some part of the country, saying that the Independent National Electoral Commission should rise up and salvage the situation.
Mark according to a statement by his press secretary after casting his vote in Otukpo Ward 1, Otukpo, Benue State said “The Otukpo Ward 1 to me is a very well organised polling unit. The people here have been on queue. I have no report of any failure or lapses. But the reports from some areas indicate that card readers have been malfunctioning.
“This situation may not allow many people to participate in the elections. INEC should as a matter of urgency rise up to the challenge and salvage the situation.”
However, he reported peaceful elections in the ward.
