#NigeriaDecides2023: Large turnout in Kano as voting starts late in ... (Premium Times)

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the exercise began at 8:23 a.m. in some polling units.

Good journalism costs a lot of money. “We were at Rijiyar Zaki Ward yesterday and the INEC officials told us that they slept at Rijiyar Zaki and it is unfortunate that they have not yet arrived at Rimin Gata polling units. Abdulsamat Ishaku, a polling officer at Dorayi Karama, told NAN that at about 8:32 a.m., all the materials needed for the conduct of the exercise were made available. Zubaida Jibrin, an observer for YIAGA Africa, told NAN she was surprised that the INEC officials and security agents were yet to arrive at the polling units. At Polling Units 014, 015 and 043 at Rijiyar Zaki Ward 7, male voters and party agents were seen awaiting the arrival of INEC officials.\ However, the late arrival of election materials and Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) officials led to the slow start for the presidential and National Assembly elections in some polling units in Ungogo local government areas of Kano.
