In Osogbo, the All Progressives Congress (APC) Director of Media and Information, Kola Olabisi, expressed concern over the insufficient number of Bimodal Voters Accreditation System (BVAS) machines at Ward 3, Unit 25, Ifelodun, Modakeke. Despite a high voter turnout, only one BVAS was available for the residents. Olabisi urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to address the matter, while also complaining about the shortage of ink for thumbprints.
Sesan Oyedele, the Osun State Commissioner for Transport, echoed similar sentiments, stating that the only functioning BVAS at the polling unit was malfunctioning. The network connection was poor, and the voter turnout was hindered by the faulty equipment, he noted. Both Olabisi and Oyedele spoke at the polling unit, highlighting the impressive voter turnout but emphasizing the need for INEC to provide a backup BVAS machine to expedite the accreditation process and allow more voters to cast their ballots within the given timeframe. They also raised concerns about the ink being used for the accreditation process.
