When some people get tired here, they go back to their homes, and won’t come back.
“It is so frustrating. A woman that is carrying a baby on her back, you expect her to stand for hours before it gets to her turn to vote? So, what we are saying is that there should be tremendous improvement, we should be developing.
“I am not too impressed with what I have seen here.
“It takes so much time and energy before somebody gets accredited. We still have a lot of work.”
On her part, Hafsat Isiaka, a 35-year-old woman living with disability, said she was at the unit to exercise her civic responsibility.
She said; “I have my right. People living with physical disabilities have their rights. We have our voters card, we can enter any polling unit and vote.
“We have the right to vote for any candidate from any party.
“If any party is not serving the people, I have the right to displace him and elect the candidate of my choice I feel can deliver.
