Reports monitored by GRAPHITTI NEWS confirm that at the PDP Gubernatorial candidate Jimi Agbaje's polling unit at Ashanti area of Apapa, the INEC officials sit idly waiting for people to come for accreditation.

Kayode Aruwayo, the PDP House of Assembly candidate for Apapa Constituency 1, said that the process has been very peaceful so far "but we are observing that the turnout is low compared to the presidential turnout."

"I can't say really what's really responsible for the low turnout but I want to believe that the same way people were shouting 'change' at the top, they wanted 'change' at the ground too, but the turnout is now low.

"The only place we have a case of the card reader being slow or not accepting (fingerprints) is at Queens Barracks, polling unit 005. Every other place, very fast. My own took me about 3 - 4 seconds for my accreditation."
