Faulty BVAS has prevented Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike and his wife, Suzette Eberechi Wike from casting their votes.

The INEC Presiding Officer, at their ward 9, unit 7 voting centre, Agatha Abioku, explained that the BVAS machine was experiencing what she called a general technical challenge.

She however stated that technicians were already on their way to fix the problem and apologized for the delay which lasted for about 25 minutes.

Reacting to the delay, Wike expressed disappointment with INEC saying that the electoral body should have ensured that their machines were in good working condition before bringing them to the field.
