Why I Did Not Vote Like Others...Yinka Ayefele

Gospel singer, Yinka Ayefele has confessed that he did not vote during the March 28 Presidential elections in Nigeria.

Stating his reasons, the singer explained that he did not intentionally stay away from voting but was very busy with his online radio programme where they were feeding those outside the country on the election update.

He disclosed that for the weekend elections, he will be available to cast his votes for his choice candidate in the April 11, election.

Applauding the successful conduct of the Presidential elections, the singer pointed out that the physically challenged people are not being taken care of in Nigeria as he urged the successive government to look into the needs of the people.

According to him, “My major concern is our airports. There is no plan for the less privileged at the Nigerian airports. When you get there, the elevators are not working. So, if you are on a wheel chair, you will need people to bring you up and down to get our luggage.”

“This is unlike the developed countries, where officials would have come to meet you. I want the government to really make life easier for the less privileged. I think it is time the government implemented a law for builders to make plans for the less privileged in their house construction,” he told Punch.
