A member of the State House of Assembly representing Ilesa West, Hon. Wale Adedoyin, said: “we had a little bit of delay on the accreditation due to the failure of the BVAS machine but the INEC officials were able to get over it.

“The turnout has been massive and impressive as a result of sensitisation. The fear of the people has been allayed by the security men.

“When we started, they spent about 30 minutes on two voters only. But, they were able to get over it.”

Also, the Commissioner for Works and Transport, Remi Omowaye, lamented the failure of the machine.

He called on security operatives to be on alert in Ilesa because of the pre-election violence that had occurred in the town.
