Rural Reporters went round some communities to observe the on-going voter’s registration exercise.
A controlled crowd is seen at various points of registration. However, people complained bitterly about the tedious nature of the registration process.
There were four to five points of registration made available to cluster of over five-community development area.
For example, hundreds of people trouped in to Technical College in Agindigbi area of Ojodu, under Ikeja Local Government area, that is expected to serve residents of Agindingbi, Omole, Ojodu and its environ.
From shuffling to find their place on the ever-growing queue, to dodging blows from the angry mob that soon form after the frustration of waiting under the hot sun, only a handful of people successfully registered before the staff announced that they are closed for the day.
Here is a photo report from some polling units:
