Osun News On Election: Read What Aregbesola, Omisore Said After Voting

The 2018 Osun State Governorship election is currently ongoing, and here is what Aregbesola and Omisore had to say after participating.

Governor of Osun state, Rauf Aregbesola commended the large turnout of voters for Saturday’s governorship election in the state.

Aregbesola, who spoke after casting his vote at his Ifofin Ward 8, Unit 1 Polling Unit in Ilesa, also commended the electoral body for the smooth conduct of the exercise.

The governor said the large turnout of voters and their peaceful conduct was a signal to their desire to elect a leader of their choice.

The governor also used the opportunity to dismiss the speculation that the payment of workers’ full salary before the election was for political reasons.

The governorship candidate of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) Sen. Iyiola Omisore, has lamented what he called irregularities in the conduct of the exercise.

Omisore, who spoke shortly after voting at his Moore Ward 1, 003 Polling Unit, alleged that there were insufficient electoral materials in some polling units in Osogbo.

He also claimed that the card readers were malfunctioning in some polling units in Ile-Ife.

Omisore, however, urged the voters to exercise their civic responsibility by trooping out to vote.

He also urged the electorate to refrain from vote-selling, saying they would be mortgaging their future.
