“I Have Voted There for 10 Years”: Rita Dominic Calls Out INEC for Moving Their Polling Unit to the Roadside

• Nollywood superstar Rita Dominic is criticising INEC officials for transferring their polling unit to a different location without prior notice
• The movie star complained about how surprised she was by the fact that their polling unit was moved from a safe place inside their VGC estate to a busy road that is easily exposed to danger
• Rita, displeased by the abrupt action of electoral officials, noted that the change of location might make many people reluctant to vote

Nigerian star actress Rita Dominic has called out the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) over its misconduct at her residential estate in Lagos.

The movie beauty, whose polling unit is at Victoria Garden City (VGC), was surprised to see that INEC officials had moved from inside the estate where they used to stay (during past elections), to mount their equipment outside.

Perplexed by the abrupt act of INEC without informing the residents of the estate, Rita noted that the electoral officers changed the process this time as they have never conducted their elections outside the estate premises.

"I have voted in the same polling unit for over 10 years and did so just about 3 weeks ago for the presidential election. I can’t fathom why INEC officials will decide to move this outside? There are many senior citizens who live inside the estate, who want to exercise their civic duty but, as it stands now, might not be able to do that because of this decision."
