The voting exercise is almost
rounding off at polling unit 001, ward 1, Afao-Ekiti, Irepodun-Ifelodun local
government area where Ayodele Fayose, incumbent governor of Ekiti state, is
expected to vote but surprisingly, he is yet to exercise his right over three
hours after the election started.
Some of the voters who arrived
early expressed shock that the governor had not come to cast his vote.
“We expected that Fayose will be
the first to arrive here to vote and mobilise people, but we can’t understand
why he’s yet to come,” a voter said.

another voter said.
When his country
home which is less than two kilometers from the polling unit was visited, the security operatives
stationed around said the governor was still resting.

has been going on smoothly but there have been reports of inducement by both
