“The report we got from our field officers and independent observers, convinced us that most voters were able to vote with the BVAS, following the extension of the voting period to 4 pm and our regulation that any voter on the queue at the time must be allowed to vote.”
Nwachukwu had earlier pointed out that voting may continue on Sunday, but during the briefing, he expressed satisfaction that most of those who turned out voted, but stated that if there is need for any area not captured to vote, subsequently, the commission would take a decision on it.
