The Labour Party candidate in the ongoing governorship
election in Osun State, Lasun Yusuf says he is no longer a beginner in the
voting system, saying he has been casting votes since 1979.
Speaking with newsmen shortly after casting his ballot at
about 10:20 am at one of the polling units in Irepodun Local Government Area of
the State, the LP candidate said the country is in problem if Osun witnesses
vote-buying in the ongoing exercise.
He also lamented that the equipments provided by the
Independent Electoral Commission, INEC, are not functioning enough, stressing
that it took him 10 minutes to cast his vote.
He said, “It took me more than 10 minutes before I was able
to cast my vote and I just hope that in the cost of the election, that process
is going to be improved upon.
“I have been voting since 1979 when I left secondary school
and this has consistently been my polling unit. This polling unit, we are
always orderly and people always come out en mass to vote.”
When asked to assess the process so far, Mr Yusuf declined,
saying “I am not going to comment on election that is still going on. The only
thing I know for now is that I have just cast my vote and it took my about 10
minutes to do so.
“If people actually go out to buy the vote, Nigeria is in
problem”.
