He said: “As you can see, INEC Officials and materials just arrived and they are well over two hours late.
“Well, we are still well around the allocated time for voting.
“Let us see what we can achieve between now and the close of voting hours.”
According to Ighodalo, it will only be fair if the voting hours are extended by the numbers of hours lost.
