Though there was light rainfall in the early hours of Saturday, the turnout was impressive. Prior to this Election Day, there had been a lot of apprehension as no one can say categorically whether the much publicized governorship election will go peacefully.

However, the image of the Independent Electoral Commission (INEC) is also at stake as there are wide speculations from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) camp that the electoral body has connived with People’s Democratic Party (PDP) to rig the election in favour of its flag bearer, Senator Iyiola Omisore against the incumbent Governor Rauf Aregbesola.  

Meanwhile the spokesman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Alhaji Lai Mohammed, was taken in by security agents in Osogbo, on the eve of the state’s governorship election.
