FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo has expressed satisfaction with the conduct of the ongoing 2023 presidential and National Assembly elections.
Chief Obasanjo also expressed his optimism that the BVAS machines would work seamlessly across the country. He said this after casting his vote at his Polling Unit 2, Ward 11, inside Olushomi compound, Totoro – Sokori in Abeokuta North Local Government Area of Ogun State.
He said Nigeria was making progress in its electoral process with the use of the Bimodal Voter’s Accreditation System (BVAS).
The former president noted that the BVAS ensured the credibility, transparency and fairness of the election, adding that an election is just the first leg of the process of enthroning quality leadership and governance in a country.
“What I have seen here is okay. I think we will get it through and whatever may be apparent (during the exercise) can then be talked about for future elections,”
Also, Senator Ibikunle Amosun and his wife, Olufunso, voted at their polling centre at Ward 6, Unit 8, Ita Gbangba in Abeokuta North Local Government.
