Osun Decides: Ex-minister Decries Slow BVAS Performance
Former Minister of State for Police Affairs, Alhaji Jelili Adesiyan, on Saturday complained about the slow performance of the Independent National Electoral Commission’s Bimodal Voter Accreditation System at his polling unit.
Adesiyan, who voted at Unit 8, Ward 6, Lagere Idiose, Ode Omu, expressed concern over how long it would take the large number of voters on the queue to cast their ballots, given the performance of the machine.
The former minister said, “The exercise is peaceful here. There have not been any problems, only that the BVAS is very slow.
“In this place, we have almost 1,000 people who registered, most of whom are on the queue to vote. Up to now, past 2pm, the number of those who have voted, from the information I gathered, is still under 200.
“There are some of our elderly people who are here. The BVAS is not capturing some of them.”

Adesiyan said the polling unit deserved another BVAS to quicken the process.
He, however, expressed assurance that every registered voter on the queue would be allowed to vote.
