Delta State Governor Ifeanyi Okowa and his wife, Dame Edith Okowa have cast their vote in the ongoing Presidential and National Assembly elections.
TheNewsGuru (TNG) reports Governor Okowa and his wife cast their vote at Ward 2, Unit 3, Omi Primary School, Owa-Alero, Ika North East Local Government Area of Delta State.
“I just performed my duty as a citizen of Nigeria by casting my vote at my Polling Unit; Ward 2, Unit 3, Omi Primary School, Owa-Alero,” Governor Okowa tweeted on Twitter immediately after casting his vote.
Ensure you go out today and vote like I just did; you do not have to wait long on the queue, you will be allowed to vote as soon as accreditation is done.#NigeriaDecides pic.twitter.com/O2COkue4va

Meanwhile, a card reader deployed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for conduct of the presidential and National Assembly elections at one of the polling units in Delta State was displaying “voting completed”.
TNG gathered that the INEC card reader was rejecting voters PVCs and displaying “voting completed” while INEC officials were only about to start accreditation of voters.
This was noticed at Ward 3, Polling Unit 1 in Ughelli North Local Government Area of Delta State.
“Card reader not working; card reader showing voting completed even without accreditation,” a voter who failed the process of accreditation due to the card reader error told TNG.
However, the INEC officials deployed at the polling unit were battling with rectifying the card reader error as at the time of filing this report.
