Mohammed Oluwatimileyin Taoheed reports,
Dr Akin Ogunbiyi, who is the governorship candidate of the Accord Party, has lauded the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) for the pacific conduct of the election so far.
While speaking to press men with his wife following the casting of his votes, he made this known at Ile-Ogbo ward 5, unit 3 at Methodist primary school.
As said by him, at AUD polling unit, about 37 have voted against over 500 registered voters. He enjoined INEC to ensure that all eligible voters voted.
Track News Nigeria learnt that he claimed that the report reaching him showed the exercise had been peaceful across the state.
He said he was hopeful that he will win the election just as he charged INEC to ensure that every eligible voter votes before before the end of the exercise.
Meanwhile, the traditional ruler of Iwoland, Oba Abdul-Rasheed Adewale Akanbi, while speaking with reporters, enjoined the electorate to vote wisely and vote a candidate of their choice.
The king also condemned vote buying and selling, he added that it will be hard to curb due to the rate of penury in the country as a whole.
He noted that he had ordered all his subjects to go out and cast their votes, advising them to eschew vote buying and selling.
He pledged that he will deliver 90,000 votes to Governor Gboyega Oyetola as he earlier promised, adding that the governor has done very well in various areas of development in the state.
The monarch, however, alleged that the exercise had been peaceful and his community in Iwo remain the the most peaceful in Nigeria.
