Kaduna State governor, Nasir el-Rufai, on Saturday, expressed disappointment over the low turnout of voters at some polling units within Kaduna metropolis.
The governor made the observation while on queue to cast his ballot at 024 ward 7, Ugwan Sarki, Kaduna.
He regretted that some polling units witnessed poor turnout of voters, especially women.
“My concern is that people are not coming out to vote. This is a once in a four years opportunity to elect our leaders, and we should take it seriously.
“It is the leaders that you elect today that will run the affairs of your states and locality in the next four years.
“Remember, anytime you don’t vote, you are giving the opposition or the other party two more votes,” el-Rufai said.
He, however, commended INEC for the innovations in this year’s exercise, such as Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS), saying that so far, it had been hitch-free.
