2015 elections: This Election Is Used As Guinea Pig - GAZA


Jonathan Gaza

Jonathan Gaza the people’s democratic party’s, PDP candidate for the Nassarawa federal House of Representatives, representing Karu, Keffi and Kokona federal constituency has expressed dissatisfaction over the organisation of the elections.
Speaking to Newspeak, he said the card reading device deployed for the 2015 general elections is an innovation that is badly timed.
“These card readers should have been used for either runoff elections or bye-election. An election of such nature is been used as a guinea pig.
“So many in so many units I can quote: Gunduma, Karu LGA and many other areas, the card readers are breaking down,” he said.
“In a particular unit, I don’t know if it is due to the inexperience of the operators of the machines, But you have a situation where they say the card readers are not working, no incident forms. They are saying they are waiting for order from above.
“Yesterday I leant a whole ward Karshi 2 did not have returning sheets as at the time of distribution of materials.
“For heaven’s sack, this shows a high level of unpreparedness and the inability to use this new age facility for these elections,” Gaza decries.
