CLAIM: A Twitter user claims that voting is yet to commence in some parts of Bayelsa at about 4 pm.
FINDING: NFC contacted an observer from Connected Development (CODE), Tare Amananaghan, who confirmed the report and added that the HOD of INEC’s Voter Education Publicity (VEP), Wilfred Ifogah, had informed earlier that the situation was due to a shortage of ballot paper. As of 5 pm, Ms Amananaghan confirmed voting had commenced in many polling units affected.
VERDICT: CORRECT
