ANAMBRA 2021: Soludo laments malfunction of BVAS device, low security
The candidate of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in the ongoing Anambra election, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, is yet to be accredited in the ongoing Anambra Governorship elections.
Ripples Nigeria gathered that this was due to the faulty Bimodal Voters Accreditation System deployed by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC).

He also raised concerns over the little or no presence of security agents, and not enough INEC officials to man some voting points.
Soludo was part of voters that were yet to vote at the Isuofia Ward 13, polling unit 002, Ofiyi Square, Umueze Village Isuofia, Aguata Local Government Area due to this situation.
However, Soludo appealed for calm and understanding among supporters while waiting for the INEC equipment to start working.
