In the early hours of Saturday, within the Abuja metropolis, Kubwa, which had not less than six polling unit, Voters were seen donating ink to avoid delay while voting.

The Kubwa Buhari Council within the NYSC camp Kubwa, had polling unit 004, 038, 040, 037, 036, and 039 respectively.

Although the turnout were massive, Voters also noted that the experience has been a violence free exercise while voting.

In a chat with one of our correspondent, Chibike Isaiah, who is a first time voter expressed how the Voting process has been.

He said, “I voted today, this is my first time of voting, when I came and noticed the ink was finished, I bought ink and donated, and I wasn’t the only one, several of us too. Talking about the elections, I believe it is ok, it is free and fair”.

Obadiah Ishaku, one of the PDP supervisor, said “the elections is going well, we haven’t had any problem, everything is going fine. Nothing like quarrelling or anything. The only hitch we had now is that the ink finished at a time, but it has been rectified now.

Ebuka Chinasa, a Realtor who came to partake in the exercise said “currently as it is now, it is free, it is fair within my polling unit (040), at the NYSC camp. People have also been trying to organize things, both the advoc staffs and non staffs, which is fine.”

Speaking on INEC identifying name of candidates or party on the ballot paper, Ebuka said, “I would prefer INEC do a ballot paper with name of candidates and logo, most especially for elderly people who might not be able to recognize the logo and are looking for a name of party or candidate, so they wouldn’t get confused, it would really help.

Oko Joseph, a Farmer who lamented on almost voting for a wrong presidential candidate said, “I am coming from Guita village, between Bwari and Kubwa, I ride bicycle come here, just to come vote, I am over 50 years, no name for the paper, I be wan vote for labour party, I dey there I dey find am, I just confuse, na people kon help me find am, them suppose to write all the party, it is not fair.”
