Dr. Fayemi, assessing INEC’s preparation’s towards the forth-coming elections, stated that INEC has held series of meetings with stakeholders and have been told where the loopholes are.

Speaking as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunrise Daily, Dr. Fayemi commended the commission on its preparations thus far but added that there is still room for more improvement.

He listed out some of the gray areas that the commission has not tackled properly such as the card reader, which is not as perfect as it ought to be and INEC is still working on it.

Dr. Fayemi further stated one of the advantages of the card reader is that a plane PVC cannot be used on it except on a plane card reader.

He also pointed out that there are people cloning card readers in addition to PVCs, while advising that INEC should be given the benefit of doubt, noting that the previous general elections in 2011, “there was no use of card readers, but this is the first time and so there are bound to be hiccups.
