PDP gov candidate votes, accuses INEC of bias

The candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the Ondo governorship election, Agboola Ajayi, has cast his vote at Polling Unit 004, Apoi Ward 2, Kiribo, in Ese-Odo Local Government Area of the state.

The PDP candidate accused the Independent National Election Commission of bias, saying he had received reports of delays in the commencement of voting in parts of the state.

Ajayi said it took almost 10 minutes before he could cast his vote after delays, describing it as an attempt to frustrate voters.

He said, “The BVAS devices are not working. Although the election is peaceful to some extent, I have concerns.

“Why are security personnel stationed so close to my polling unit? They are intimidating voters. The distance between voters and military officers is uncomfortably close.”

Ajayi also alleged that the election was being compromised.

“The system has been compromised. It is sad that the INEC can’t conduct an election well in one state,” Ajayi said.
