He added that there are a lot of abnormalities that have characterised the election.

He added that there are complains of late arrival of electoral materials in most parts of the state.
“I have heard complaints from Iseyin, I have heard complaints from Okeho since yesterday. There was a problem from Ayete yesterday, polling officers are yet to arrive at Idikan Onibata, in Ward 4, Ward 5 of Ibadan North West Local government area, we kept on complaining.
“As I am talking, they said they are on their way. When the election is going to close at 3:00 pm and they are yet to arrive at 11:00 pm.
“It shows that the OYSIEC is not prepared or they are up to some games – it is one out of the two.
