“The system is compromised and we have series of calls made by everybody. People are complaining of vote buying, BVAS problem. It is a very shameful exercise,” he said.
“Why are security personnel stationed so close to my polling unit? They are intimidating voters. The distance between voters and military officers is uncomfortably close.”
Agboola, called for the resignation of INEC chairman, Prof. Mahmood Yakubu,
“And I think people should call on the INEC chairman to resign if he cannot do the job. He should just resign
“The system has been compromised. It is sad that the INEC can’t conduct an election well in one state,” Ajayi said.
