NAN also reports that the Senate president expressed disappointment over low turn-out of voters during the March 9 elections in the state.

Saraki, said he had been inundated with too many reports of military deployment in the state which could be the reason for the low turn-out.

Commenting on card readers, the Senate president said he had not received any reports of malfunctioning of the gadgets.

He added that since the independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had insisted on the use of card readers, there must have been an improvement.
