Residents in Sagwari Polling unit in Bwari Area councils are seeking for extension of voting time as some of the voters cannot find their names on the list of accredited voters.
A few hours into the voting process, some of the voters are still searching for their names.
However INEC officials promised that more names will still be posted, a large number of the voters are discouraged and some are heading back home.
One of the voters, Ngozi Okafor said it is quite frustrating for her to be searching for her name despite coming to the polling unit on time.
“The officials said they will still paste more names, but am discouraged. I hope they will extend the hours of voting. I came here in good time, for me to be staying under the hot sun”, she said.
Another voter, Bamidele Adeogun said the INEC officials should have ensured that all the names of those registered in a particular centre should be assigned to the same centre.
” I came here this morning, and have been searching for my name for the past two hours. The officials promised us that they will bring out more lists of voters. INEC should extend the voting time so I can perform my rights as a citizen”, he said.
