I Did Not Vote Manually – Lai Mohammed Reacts

Below is a statement from Nigeria’s Ministry of Information sent to PoliticsNGR;

“The
attention of the Honourable Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji
Lai Mohammed, has been drawn to a report that he (Minister) voted
manually at his Polling Unit 006 in Oro, Irepodun LG in Kwara South,
after the card reader failed to authenticate him.

This report is
patently false and is apparently sponsored by those who are on the verge
of losing their political hegemony in Kwara State.

The correct
report is that the Minister proceeded to cast his vote after his voter’s
card was duly authenticated by the card reader, his fingerprints
captured and his name and picture identified in the voters’ register.”
