Gov Wada

Governor  Idris Wada arrived for accreditation around 11.23 in a convoy of three SUVs. The Governor who was dressed in an immaculate white agbada with a blue cap to match was accompanied by some of his aides.

He was  immediately attended to by electoral officers as he was not asked to join the queue.

Sea of cameramen and journalists had  waited for Wada to show up for accreditation at his Odu Ogboyaga ward 001 polling unit since 8 a.m.

The governor’s expansive mansion is just about 500 metres to the polling unit.

There was high turnout of voters  generally in the state and Odu Ogboyaga, Wada’s ward.

On a drive from Lokoja to Odu Ogbogaya, the home town of Governor Idris Wada who is also the PDP candidate, it was observed that people were ready for accreditation  as early as 7.30 am.

However , it was observed that there were minor hitches with the accreditation as the card readers keep rejecting some fingers.

Also, the security presence is very low and electoral officials are finding it difficult to control voters who formed  long queues of three rows.
