Ekiti Election Update : Massive Turn Out of Voters As SDP Alleged APC Of Vote Buying

...It is false says APC

The Ongoing  Guber Election in Ekiti is already  reaching a climax as political parties are jostling for votes from the electorates.

A visit by the media team  to Ise, Emure and Ikere local government confirmed the election  to be going on peacefully and in orderly manner.

INEC officials and security agents were seen conducting the exercise even though  the Bimodal machine malfunctioned in some areas.

According,  to some of the voters who spoke with this correspondent, people trooped out as early as 7:30 a.m to exercise their  civic responsibility.

In Emure Ekiti ward 6 unit 9 to be precise Mrs Cecilia a chieftain of the Peopl Democratic Party alleged  the All Progresives Congress of vote buying and inducing members  of the SDP to vote for the APC.

She lamented the position  of the security  agencies  who she claimed looked on with making an attempt to stop them.

Hon. Adelugba representing the Emure constituency affirmed that the exercise  was going on peacefully despite  the Bimodal machine malfunctioning initially. 

For Captain Sunday Adebomi of the APC, he dismissed the  claims of Mrs Cecelia while absolving  the APC of trying to induce voters. 

" You can see for yourself the exercise is peaceful  so far and no trouble reported in any quarters. 

If the SDP is allegeding any hanky panky then it is done by them" he concluded.

Meanwhile Dr. Wole Oluyede contesting on the platform of the ADC has described the election as far from being fair. 

He alleged that some of his supporters were arrested and whisked away by security  agents on the instruction of the government while he also expressed his disappointment  over the numerous instances of vote buying.

" I am not disappointed it is the people  who will later regret if they make the wrong choices" 

Also the former deputy governor of Ekiti under the PDP Prof. Kolapo Olusola said the election is by far fair  by his own assessment  and that no vote buying took place in his polling unit. He however refused to make  any comment concerning his next line of action following  the fall out of his withdrawal  from the senator race while affirming that he still remains a bonafide  member of the PDP.
