Meanwhile, Governor Ademola Adeleke has cast his vote in the local government elections amid ongoing controversy.
The election has sparked a dispute between the Nigeria Police Force and the Osun State Government. The police had called for the election’s suspension, citing security concerns, but the state government proceeded with the polls.
Speaking to journalists after casting his vote, Governor Adeleke described the election process as peaceful and encouraged residents to participate.
“The process has been very peaceful. I made a broadcast to my good people of Osun State that this election should be peaceful. They should come out and cast their votes and go home peacefully. We should not give them any chance to say there is violence there or there,” he stated.
