Presidential candidates of various political parties are either lamenting poor turnout, malfunctioning equipment or commending the exercise.
The candidate of the Young Progressive Party (YPP), Kingsley Moghalu, said that as at 10:36 am, he was unable to vote in his polling unit Ward 2 of Nnewi North Local Government Area of Anambra State.
He complained that the card readers are not functioning and the result sheets arrived late. He said many voters had already been disenfranchised.
He urged INEC to live up to its responsibility.
However, Moghalu posted that he finally voted around 12 noon. He said the problem of the card reader in his unit was rectified.
Omoyele Sowore said the logo of the African Action Congress (AAC) for the

Sowore said the political system was a total failure.
Fela Durotoye of Alliance for New Nigeria (ANN) said he was able to vote.
“Today, we choose the future of Nigeria over our past. The new Nigeria over the old,” Durotoye said.
Atiku Abubakar of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), said he voted in unit at Ajiya Ward in Yola, Adamawa State.
President Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) cast his vote about 8.03 am in his unit in Daura, Kastina State.
