Eyitayo Jegede, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, in the Ondo governorship election has accused INEC of creating problems.
This was after the Smart Card Readers failed to recognize his voter’s card and that of his wife when they went to their polling unit to cast their vote.
Jegede, however, said that despite the problems he’s confident that he would win the Ondo State governorship election.
He said, “INEC is creating problem. Their machine stopped working when it was my turn to vote. I have to protest and they said the machine was rectified. But despite all these hitches, there has not been major disruption. But I dont know what is happening in remote areas.
“The turnout has been massive, voters conducted themselves well. Am aware there are pocket of violence at Ijomu area. I also heard of incident of vote buying. In Owo for instance, a former commissioner led thugs to aattack one Sadiq Obanoyen and injured him in a patrol vehicle. These are incidences of violence. Unfortunately, it is happening against. But by the grace of God, we will still win.”
