Ademola Adeleke,Osun State Governor, has rejected the preliminary report on the ongoing governorship election, expressing dissatisfaction with widespread voting disruptions, technical failures, and voter intimidation across the state.
Speaking on Osun Radio, Adeleke complained that Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BIVAS) machines malfunctioned and operated too slowly in numerous polling units. He urged the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to intervene immediately to restore system functionality and safeguard the process.
The governor further alleged that armed thugs were actively disrupting voting operations in Olorunda and Irewole local council areas. He specifically identified a suspect known as Enuku, claiming the individual and his associates were targeting voters in Ikire. Adeleke also accused members of the Nigeria Police Force of assisting the All Progressives Congress (APC) by failing to intervene. He advised residents to remain resilient, defend their votes peacefully, and disregard intimidation tactics at the polling stations.
