“Voter’s turnout has been incredibly low but I won’t come to conclusion yet, we still have about three hours till the end of the polls

“There’s been a lot of improvements in terms of preparedness; materials came early. The staff came early.

“As far as the INEC is concerned, as far as the people are concerned, it has been so far so good.

“Like I said, it’s a learning process. I think INEC clearly seems to have corrected whatever lapses they were to have much better operations this time around.”
