“When they arrived and clocked in the BVAS for voting to commence, they told us they forgot the presidential ballot,” one of the visibly angry voters lamented.
“How can you forget the presidential ballot? This looks like a conspiracy to me and we won’t take it. The people are agitated and might result to violence if the presidential ballot isn’t provided.”
JOURNALIST101 reports that the angry electorates held the officials hostage but the intervention of the police which we learnt were alerted by the INEC Officials at the local government saved the day.
JOURNALIST101 recalls that INEC had canceled the senatorial election because of the gruesome murder of the Senatorial Candidate of the Labour Party, Barr. Oyibo Chukwu. Therefore, only the house of Representatives and Presidential elections are expected to take place in the polling unit which is under Enugu East Senatorial Zone.
