Assembly election witnesses voter apathy in Osun as polling booths remain scanty
As Nigerians come out today to exercise their civic responsibilities in the governorship and house assembly elections across the country, voters’ apathy has marred the exercise in Osun State.
Speaking on the level of turn-out of voters, an All Progressives Congress, APC’s chieftain in Osogbo, the Osun State capital, Mr. Jelili Aloba, said many factors, including wrong political orientation, could have responsible for apathy. “It is indeed unfortunate, and it is a function of wrong political perception and orientation, the agency saddled with the responsibility of voter education and social orientation should do more in educating voters on every stage of democratic process.”
He, however, adduced the low turn-out to the fact that governorship election was not holding in the state, having held gubernatorial election earlier in September.
