Speaker of the House of Representatives, Yakubu Dogara, has described the conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections as very impressive even though he lamented that the card reader rejected his fingerprint.
According to the Nigerian Tribune, while speaking to journalists shortly after casting his ballot at the Gwaranga Primary School polling centre in Bogoro LGA, Yakubu Dogara said, “I think it’s fairly ok, judging by what I have seen here. It’s a bit smooth, but in a sense, you know I had a problem with the card reader, it couldn’t automatically authenticate me. So I had to thumbprint on the Voters Register, so to say for me to vote.”
