Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Yakubu Dogara’s finger print was rejected by the Smart Card Reader at his Gwaranga primary school polling unit of Gwaranga town in Bogoro Local Government Area of Bauchi State.
Hon. Dogara arrived the polling unit at about 9.44 but the Card Reader failed to authenticate his finger-print, as a result of which he had to use the authentication form to vote.
His wife, Gimbiya Dogara, however voted smoothly without any hitch.
Speaking after casting his vote, the Speaker commended the orderly conduct of the elections at his polling unit.
He said that he was not aware of how the exercise was going on in other places, but added that if the situation were the same in other units, then INEC had done a good job.
