The governor said he was happy to see a large turnout of voters, adding that by God’s grace, he would be victorious at the end of the election.

The accreditation and voting at the governor’s polling unit started at exactly 8:30 a.m with the INEC Bimodal Voter Accreditation System (BVAS) working perfectly.

There was also a large turnout of voters at the polling unit, which had 1,457 registered voters.

Although 15 candidates are participating in the gubernatorial election, political pundits have said the poll is a rematch between Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) and Senator Ademola Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), who squared off in 2018.
