The governorship candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, Prof. Kolapo Olusola’s Permanent Voter Card was rejected twice by the card reader machine before he eventually cast his vote.

He expressed fear that if it could happen to him, others might also be disenfranchised.

He said, “I cannot say I don’t have confidence in the electoral process but I have my fears.

“My card has been rejected twice now. It is amazing and they asked me if the card is bent or something but you all can see the card is not bent. The REC should do something about that.
