President Jonathan's Accreditation Unsuccessful With Four Card Readers

President Goodluck Jonathan was accredited at polling unit 13 in his hometown Otazi in Otueke, Bayelsa State after failed attempts by four card readers.

After about thirty minutes, the fifth card reader succeeded in capturing his biometrics.

While leaving the location after a successful accreditation, the president urged Nigerians to be patient with the electoral body in getting their accreditation done.

The chairman of the Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, Attahiru Jega, had said that if the card reader fails to capture a voter’s biometrics, the commission’s staff at the polling units will resort to manual accreditation.

And GEJ just stood there patiently. How embarrassing that must have been.
