The Minister of State for Foreign Affairs, Senator Musiliu Obanikoro, is optimistic that President Goodluck Jonathan would win Lagos.
Obanikoro who spoke with pressmen after voting, said though voting was peaceful at his ward, does not mean it will be the same in other part of the states.
“But I want to sound a note of caution that the situation in other parts of Lagos is not what obtains here. There are issues around card reader malfunctioning and many people run the risk of been disenfranchised but we hope that INEC acts quickly on that.
“The entire country should not be turned into a guinea pig with these card readers. It should have been tested with smaller elections before being deployed for the presidential election”, he noted.
He also on the security, Obanikoro said in some areas it has been peaceful, “but information from areas like Isale Eko, Epetedo, Alimosho, Ikorodu, Oshodi, Mushin and others in that category are challenged areas. So the presence of security forces would be appreciated.”
