He decided to put a call across to INEC authorities and following the intervention of Prof Jega, INEC officials were ordered to use manual accreditation for Anambra state and the message went round immediately saving the day.

The Anambra Governor then returned by 2:30 pm and when the card reader failed again, he was accredited manual then others too. 

Obiano expressed disappointment with how INEC conducted the election and expressed it.
