Across the most populated country in Africa Nigeria, most polling stations opened very late – very few polling stations were ready this morning at 8:30 a.m. – the time when voting was to start – due to lack of staff and sometimes even equipment, reports our correspondent at Lagos, Liza Fabbian.
There were delays in Lagos, including at the polling station of Bola Tinubu, the candidate of the APC, the incumbent majority party, where officers from the electoral commission arrived very late, shortly before the candidate himself.
Bola Tinubu went to slip his ballot into the ballot box around 10.30 am, just after his wife who was voting in another district of Lagos.
PDP candidate Abubakar has also already visited his polling station in Yola, Nassarawa State. He said he was confident in his chances of victory.
Finally, in the middle of the morning, Peter Obi, the third in this campaign arrived at his polling station in Anambra, in southeastern Nigeria.
