There was tension at Azama Primary School, Uzairue, in Etsako West Local Government Area in Edo State as voters including the impeached deputy governor of the state, Comrade Philip Shaibu, are stranded, following the non-functioning of BIVAS machines allotted to his Unit 5, Wars 11 voting centre.
However, voting was ongoing in units 3, 4 and 6 in the same Azama Primary School at 8:30 am and there was visible orderliness as there was heavy security presence in the centre
Speaking with journalists over the development, Comrade Shaibu, expressed concern over the faulty machine, saying that the situation is capable of disenfranchising over 2,000 registered voters.
Some of the voters who were visibly angry while speaking with Tribune Online expressed disappointment with INEC over the non-working BIVAS machines.
