That was a statement from Goodluck Jonathan on card reader failure in Bayelsa Governorship elections in December 2015.
Jonathan and his wife’s first attempt at accreditation at about 8:45a.m, was unsuccessful on account of malfunctioning card readers.
The former president quipped: “I’m quite worried about the card reader issue this morning. Luckily, this is an isolated, one-state election. But from my experiences today, INEC must review this issue of PVC and card readers very well before we go into the next election.”
He added that: “In the last presidential elections, myself and my wife’s PVCs were rejected by the card reader. Today, because they changed mine and that of my wife’s, it was successful.
“Five people came with me including a former commissioner known to me in the state. The card reader rejected three others’. They could not have been carrying a clone cards,” he noted.
He said come what might, whoever emerged governor after the voting exercise should govern the state well.
