Governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Ogun State, Dapo Abiodun, has described the conduct of Saturday’s governorship and House of Assembly elections in the state as credible.
Abiodun stated this shortly after he voted at Ward 3, Unit 2 Polling Centre at Ita Osanyin in Iperu, Ikenne Local Government Area of the state.
Abiodun, who voted at exactly 12:20 pm, also expressed appreciation at the turnout of the people for the elections.
“I feel very great after the whole exercise. I haven’t seen the situation of things in other polling units but I am satisfied with the process at this polling unit,” he said.
Abiodun urged the Independent National Electoral Commission to be sincere and ensure a democratic process.
“My advice is that the process should be democratic. They should not try to rig the election.
“ We should respect our democracy and people should not create or engage in violence, ” he said
At his own poling unit, former governor of Ogun State, Gbenga Daniel , urged governorship candidates in the state to accept the outcome of the election in good faith.
Daniel, who spoke with newsmen shortly after casting his vote at Ward 12 Unit 7 Polling Centre in Isote area of Sagamu Local Government Area of the state, appealed to the candidates to accept defeat for the development of the state.
The former governor stressed that the expectation of the people from the incoming government was high.
He said: ” With what I have seen, people have come out in large numbers to vote and people are full of expectations.
“I have also voted and I am also full of expectations.
“My appeal is that at the end of today, maybe tomorrow, collation will be properly done and a winner would be declared.
“For the winners and losers, they should accept so that our state and country can move forward”.
Daniel also commended the Independent National Electoral Commission for conducting free and fair elections in the state.
