Low Turnout Of Voters As Governor Adeleke Votes In Osun LG Election

 

The local government election in Osun on Saturday witnessed poor turnout of the electorate in the state. Correspondents of the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), who monitored the election in some local governments, report that there was no presence of ad hoc staff of the State Independent Electoral Commission (OSSIEC) in polling units visited.

In Osogbo, some of the polling units located at Ogo-Oluwa, Alekunwodo, Olaiya, Oja-Oba, among others, were devoid of electorate, OSSIEC staff and security personnel as of 9:15 am.

NAN observed that voters’ list was not displayed at some of the polling units visited. However, election took place in units 18, 19 and 20, ward 4, Ataoja D.

Although Gov. Ademola Adeleke ordered restriction of vehicular movement from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. across the state, this was not complied with, as there was free vehicular movement without any form of restriction.

NAN, however, also observed that there were roadblocks along the major roads by the police. Similarly, in Ile-Ife, there was no sign of the electorate as well as OSSIEC adhoc staff in some of the polling units visited.

However, while shops, markets, and shopping malls remained closed, the situation in Ede, the governor’s hometown, was slightly different, as voters were seen at some polling units where OSSIEC and ad hoc staff were attending to them.

At Obalaoye Grammar School, unit 2 ward 4, some electorate were seen on queue at 8:00 am waiting to cast their votes.

Also, Oloba Atapara Ward 1, unit 6 witnessed few electorate waiting to be accredited and to cast their votes.

One of the electorate, Mr Nifemi Akingbala, said that the process had been so peaceful and urged all voters to cast their votes without fear.
