Kaduna Voters Express Satisfaction With Election Amidst Low Turnout

Most voters said they were happy about the fact that the election in Kaduna State was peaceful in spite of the low turnout.

According to some of the electorates who spoke to Voice of Nigeria, unlike the Presidential and National Assembly elections where voting materials arrived late in most areas, the governorship and State House of Assembly elections enjoyed the early casting of votes.

However, there was a low turnout of voters in several polling units across the State capital.

At a polling unit, LGEA primary school, Narayi, Chikun local government area, few voters were seen in the queue to cast their votes.

A voter, Madam Rachael Nuhu said, “I don’t know why people are not many here., Maybe they will come out later, I cannot say. But I want to believe that many people are discouraged to vote again because of the presidential election results that INEC is being accused of taking side.”

Also, an elderly man, John Fwah whoo queued at a primary school in Gonin Gora area of Kaduna city expressed happiness that the voting materials arrived there early, but he was quick to add;

 “I don’t know why there is a low turnout, but I still believe that before the end of the voting exercise, more people will turn out. As I speak with you some people have voted and left the place for their houses.”

While Hassan Haruna who voted at Katsina road of Kaduna North LGA said he was happy with the way people comported themselves at the polls.
