Governor Nyesom Wike of Rivers State, on Saturday, expressed disappointment at the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the inability of the Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) to capture him and his wife, Suzette.
Governor Wike had arrived at his polling unit 7, Ward 9, Wimpey Junction, Rumuepirikom, Port Harcourt, Rivers State, to cast his vote but could not use the machine as the network failed.

The governor said he was highly disappointed in the INEC for failing to keep its promise in the conduct of the elections.
His words, “We are highly disappointed. INEC told us they were ready for the election and that BVAS are working. You can see the crowd here.
“I don’t think that most people will be allowed to vote because of the slow working of the BVAS.

“I have stayed about 25 minutes here and I was told to go and come back that they will rectify the BVAS,” Wike lamented
“We are highly disappointed. If a number of people are disenfranchised, what do you expect? People will lose their temper and anything could happen.
“INEC ought to have been completely ready before telling the people they are ready,” he added.
