Voting in Saturday's general elections is
supposed to commence by 8 am according to the Independent National
Electoral Commission (INEC), but a female rapper Sasha has confirmed the
absence of its officers at her polling station.
She shared this in a tweet posted this morning
in reaction to INEC's request for a situation report at different
voting centers.
The balloters at her polling unit have been waiting there since 6:40 am says the rapper who tweeted from Lekki, Lagos.
"No polling officers. Voters have been waiting since 6.40am," she writes. A similar occurrence has been reported at other places according to many reports on social media.
INEC has been noticeably proactive about its affairs after shifting the polls to Saturday, February 23, 2019.
Some days to the elections, it engaged Nigerians daily to inform them about its progress.
