His words, “I think this is an improvement of all the other elections that I have participated. It’s very seamless, very fast and if it continue like this then I want to believe that INEC has improved on not only their facilities but also the training of their men that are handling the process…
“We are still putting our ears to the ground as to what is happening in other polling units
“But here (Sampou) I’m very satisfied with the process and the personnel that are handling the process.
‘in any case what we ask for is a free process where the BVAS should be use just as I have done here today. Accreditation should be by BVAS across the state.”
