Although there were minor logistical issues, the governor claimed that everything has been worked out and that election supplies have been delivered to every part of the state.

“Let me first appreciate the OGSIEC for their level of preparedness and diligence to conduct free, fair, and credible polls.

“However, in any election, we can not rule out some logistics hiccups but by and large I have been informed that as of now, the election materials have reached every nook and cranny of the state and voting has commenced in earnest,” Abiodun explained.

He also praised the voter turnout for the exercise, stating that it shows people’s trust and assurance that their voting choices will match the outcome.
